Draggletail   60 #1 Posted August 21, 2004 Can anyone recommend a site with avatars in gif or jpg format? Have had a good look round using google, but theres a lot of rubbish out there.... P.S esp. animated avatars! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
max   13 #2 Posted August 21, 2004 Try here:  Animated gifs  or here to make your own:  Gif Works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Draggletail   60 #3 Posted August 21, 2004 Thanks for that, Max. Found a good GIF, right click and 'save as,' but windows saves it as a BMP with no option to save as a GIF or anything else for that matter! Any Ideas, anyone:confused:  UPDATE: got it resaved as GIF, but lost the animation... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Draggletail   60 #6 Posted August 22, 2004 Thanks, Alchresearch. Have downloaded Jascs animation shop, right clicked image, copied and pasted into jascs, as you advise, but on 'save as' no option for save as animated GIF comes up in the menu:confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchresearch   214 #7 Posted August 22, 2004 Just save as a GIF in Animation Shop, it will be automatically animated.  I've just found out that you can't copy and paste into Animation Shop. But, if you right click your animation and then click "save picture as.." you can then load it up.  Try it with Max's animation above, it works ok.

Â PS. Feel free to PM me if you need any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
