Slide Shows
« on: Wednesday 25 February 09 23:54 UTC (UK) » |

I was asked By Rabbit B about putting several photos together to create a small slide show.
This can be used as an Avatar as long as you do not exceed 50k.
The way I have done it is to create a GIF Image.
If you GOOGLE - PHOTOSCAPE, and download it(Its FREE by the way), you can use this program to make one.
It allows you to upload you photos and put them in the order you want. It also allows you to change the time that each photo is on the screen.
Then you can save it as a GIF Image.
Its not difficult, a little trial and error will sort it out.

Good Morning Rabbit 
I didn't take offence at all - I was really emphasising that it's not that difficult. You have to make sure that the various photos are alligned perfectly though or they come up rather jumpy.
I used to do small animations like this at art college - pre-digital days. If you do a complex one it's best to do a Story Board first .
Also, I was trying to emphasize that avatars should be 20kb or less rather than the 50k that Dave had said.

Sorry Gadget for the error about the size, another "Senior Moment"  .
I am not very "techie" myself, but will have a go.
Just try and have a bit of fun.
If it all goes wrong, have a cup of tea and watch "Bargain Hunt"

Yes I did
However, being an 'arty-farty' kind of person, I really liked the original - all those lovely blue marks. It was wonderful !
I think it's best, for the sake of Rootschat's performance, to keep avatars as small as possible though and best to stick to jpg or gif files not those enormous pngs.

That's what I love about the original image - it's a work of art in it's own right - gorgeous
However, if you'd like to send me the set of the restored images and the original - all same size, I'll do you a slide show - will PM you

This is a sample of the first five that you sent - they're full size at the moment just to show what I've done so far.
Definirely not avatar size at the moment

Hi
Here's the full set - made smaller but still too large for an avatar. The main problem is that if I compress it too much, the images degrade so I might have to do 2 or 3 separate gifs and you can rotate them.
