Request: A good GIF animator.

I'll try that, thanks!

I use Paint Shop Pro 7, unless I need to save an alpha channel and then I use PSP 9 - which was the only reason I even bought it (ten bucks on Amazon). For vectors or anything where I need brushes with pointy ends or there will be a lot of tricky bezier curves - XaraX1 which I bought it on sale for I think ten bucks. (It's great for t-shirt art too - it has a pretty decent preview-in-CMYK feature.) And I like Paint.Net (free) for posturizing and brightness/contrast- it has finer controls than PSP.

Never got the hang of PSP 7 altho I have it and it's flat out the best for tubing. I have PSP8, 9, 10, 12, 12U, and 13. (skipped 11 somehow). I really don't like 13 but once installed, it's like a virus and you almost have to reformat to get it out of your system so I keep it. And I do use it. I also have 10 installed (I use Windows 7). Don't know how familiar you are with tubers but I went by GraphicsbyLiz.

I downloaded Paint.Net but can't figure it out and the tutorials aren't very well explained. Maybe I am just use to the help I got with PSP. I do have PSCS3 and am finally figuring it out. Took some lessons which helped.

Wow, you have a really extensive PSP collection! The only reason I ever moved from PSP 5 to 7 was, my laptop died suddenly and I didn't have the install anymore -- I hated PSP 7's guts at first.

I'm not very familiar with tubers because I only figured out this year that you can actually create stuff for tubes. I'm really very bad about reading instruction manuals, it's always the last resort. Are your tubes still online? I'd love to see them.

The only thing I use on Paint.net is posturize and brightness/contrast -- those are just slide controls, so nothing to learn there.
