Dennis -- it's just a gif file thing in general - not just animation shop. Sucks, doesn't it? Photoshop comes with Image Ready -- which has a lot of effects, and some which I find better than those of animation shop -- but maybe I'm only thinking that because everyone already knows what animation shops effects are. Anyway -- image ready is hard to learn if you're used to animation shop -- but it's a good program.

AJ -- I'll get them for you soon -- my brother is actually the one that hacks the net for me every damn day, so I have to catch him before I can get that for you, but I will, and then I'll just IM you or something.

For the avatars I make though those transparent ones I used just the paintshop pro and the animation shop.

I agree with you -- I like Adobe better for basically everything -- especially text. There's lots of shit you can do with text and styles and actions -- god do I love actions. But PSP has some nice effects that just don't look the same when you do them in Adobe, so what I ended up doing was just creating an action of my own, or brushes of my own, using PSP features and effects, and then making them Adobe-friendly. Then I don't have to sit there with both programs open and keep saving and opening in the other.

Well this thread's going off topic but... do you know where i can find some tutorials on Image Ready & Photoshop?

I hate using them but maybe if I follow one of those and get some basic ideas down i can mess around with it on my own.

Thanks!

I'm not julie but it looks great up untill it restarts, then it jumps back and it looks kind of odd.

AJ -- copy the first image in your sequence, and paste a duplicate of it after your last image in the sequence. Then put another fade effect there, and you won't be able to tell where it stops and starts again. Also -- I'd use a quicker fade with less frames. Like 2 or 3.

Dennis -- I can teach you if you can ever catch me -- otherwise I dont know where tutorials are b/c I never used them. Kat taught me Photoshop in a thread about a year ago -- I dont know if it still exists or not, but from there I taught myself.

3xm guy -- I don't have that brush because I hate it. Sorry. I hate most brushes. You should ask Grababooty though -- she uses it in like every single blend she makes...

Thanks Julie.

You're awesome.
