I was just fooling around but here's a start for you. Maybe some one more talented than I can refine it for you

Thanks Buck.

I have found a picture I like.

I'm gonna have a go tommorow as I have the day off work. Might get it edited fully. I'm not that keen on Roadrunner but love wileecoyote. The edit bits will take me a while then I'll figure out how to aminate it.
Or someone here can help me.

Thanks for the avatar, btw, its good. How long did it take?

Regards

Eddie - first up, go to View, Zoom, Custom and select 600 or 800%. Use the Select (dotted rectangle) to select an area and then cut (Ctrl X) or copy (Ctrl C) and paste (Ctrl V) an area such as a leg.
Then in the blank white area, or wrongly overlapped colours where you've cut the leg from, recolour the background using the Pick Colour (pipette) tool and then the Pencil tool.
It's a long drawn out process, the more colours the pic has, the more work you'll have ahead of you.
Also, Paint isn't vey good for changing the angle of a selection - it basically goes in 90 degree turns, which is not going to be a great way to make someone look as though they're walking.

Okay, as you can see, I got the little guy uploaded. Any ideas?

Thanks

Love the new one. I have a few ideas up my sleeve. What I'll do is have a go tomorow and if I struggle ( I will, no doubt), I'll let you know.

Patience is a virtue, so they say. But I want it NOW!!!!!

One question: in Paint, it is a bmp. but I need it as a gif, surely, for the gif animator. How can you convert it or is it not needed?

Thanks

Eddie - File, Save As, in Save as Type select "GIF (*.gif)" and hey Presto!

I might spend some time cleaning up each of the 9 images I used, simplifying them, so there are less colours, at least it would look less grainy that way. Unless anyone else has any ideas?
I noticed on the GIFWorks site that there are some tools to sharpen/unsharpen your image, blur it, change contrast etc and if I could use this, it would affect the whole animation all in one go...

some installs of MS Paint don't recognize gif and jpg but you can get the add on filters here

Thanks Buck

Thats what I need. It only saves as BMP. I'll get it now.


Er, it says to save in here:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\grphflt


C:\Windows\MsApps\Grphflt

I don't have it....Hmmm

Hiya

Might have an animation soon. Its 180 frames as someone sent me a nifty little movie. Gonna take a while, then I have to resize it. Do I do this before or after the joining? I'll experiment.

Regards

eddie

[eddie5659]

Okay

I'm joining it up, bacwards, in the GIF program I downloaded. I have had a go at resizing in there. No joy. However, the online one allows me to. The big question I need now answering:

What is the Maximum size for the avatar? H and W, and also Kb

This would be great as this little avatar, when its done, is like watching a clip. Well, it is, but you know what I mean.

Thanks

eddie

[Gram123]

Someone said it was 50 x 50 pixels, 20Kb.

[RT]

eddie,

I read somewhere the max avatar size is 50x50 pixels, can't find where I read that, or the byte size limit.

I am having trouble getting a decent connection tonight, every thing's running real slow, and page-loadung time is trying my patience. (I want it now, too!

[~Candy~]

If you go to the user area and try to change your avatar, it specifically says:

Use custom avatar
Note: the maximum size of your custom image is 50 by 50 pixels or 20000 bytes (whichever is smaller).


Now, may I pass go and collect my glass of wine!!!!!

[Dark Star]

AcaCandy,

Yes, and yes. Have you really been waiting all this time for a glass of wine?
If you have you've just redefined patience.

Cheers,
DS

[eddie5659]

Hiya

I got it to 50 x 40, but its 43kb. I assume this is okay as AcaCandy said that it could be either. Please let it be....Pleeeese.
