Hey, Qasim, or someone good with image tech, how do I make one of those picture changing images like the one of John on the left in Naughtrish's siggy?

You need an imaging program to make an animated gif.

Ummmm... No. Paint won't cut it. All paint's good for is drawing lines and typing text. It can't handle image cut-pastes very well. And you can only undo once in paint. In photoshop 9 (which i have) i set the undo level to 300. which means in can undo the last 300 actions i made).

GIMP is free from what i've heard, and it seems to be a pretty decent program. Where to find it, i have no clue.

[Qasim]

[Colonel Sharp]

If you just want something quick, you can use this site for an animated gif:

Just upload as many images as you want, maybe edit and add some effects, and save it to your comp and upload it.

You can undo three times in Paint.

[TechnoWraith]

You can undo more than once in paint. You just can't set the number of undos the way you can in PS.

Really? How can you change the number of Undos in Paint?

Sorry, I tested it and went back and edited the post. Look again. And I didn't say you could change the number of undos in Paint. I just said you could undo more than once.

oh. I always thought i could only undo once i paint, but i guess i'm mistaken on that assumption.
