![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So, let’s say you have a series of images that animate nicely, like the ones that make up this GIF, “Red Alert,” from The Twilight Zone episode, Monsters Are Due on Maple Street. Most of it is with Photoshop, but the concepts and techniques should be replicable with GIMP, and I am going to undertake to sort out some of them. It is a most beautiful affliction.Īt any rate, I have much learning to document. All told, it was quite a journey, characterized by progress, yes, but also reflecting many unfinished GIFs, and many, many pieces of GIFbits littering my hard drives.Īnd along the way - primarly resulting from GIFestivus2012 which started around December 1st and ran for over a month and a half - I developed a very bad case of GIF-Eye-tis. Getting my head wrapped around how Layers worked in conjunction with Frames in a Frame Animation within Photoshop took a while (and was the reason My New DS106 Shirt is Here GIF has languished - still) and really only came as I concurrently came to understand masking and reducing GIF file sizes. While I did make some limited progress with GIMP, I was still trying to understand the rudimentary aspects of making GIFs at the time, and so I didn’t have any good experience with which to extend my understanding of GIMP.įast forward a little bit, and I got my Photoshop installed, and I started poking around learning how to make GIFs using Photoshop, which is similar, but different. There was a brief time when I switched hard drives (I’m thinking it was sometime during the late summer/early fall of 2012) when I poked around using GIMP to try to understand Animated GIFs because I didn’t have ready access to my Adobe Photoshop and there were some ds106 tutorials about GIFfing with GIMP.
