@ booda4321: How'd I do that? This was a very easy animation to make: I opened one image in JASC Paint Shop Pro 9.0. Then I sharpened it, altered it a little bit more, and added the trademark symbol in the lower right hand corner. Next, I copy and pasted nine more of this same image, leaving the first one untouched. Then, I chose the "freehand selection" of the magic wand tool and highlighted the inside of each letter (one letter, after the other, in order). As the inside of each letter was highlighted, I clicked on the "Adjust" tab, dropped down to the "Hue and Saturation" and hovered over to the right to "Colorization," so I could add a bright pink color to the inside of each letter. Once the color was what I wanted, I right clicked on the image to shut down the magic wand and saved each image as a gif file. Now, if the file hadn't saved sharp enough for me in JASC Paint Shop Pro 9.0's regular "Save Copy As" feature, I could have copied and pasted the images into my Photoshop 6.0 to save each image as a Customized GIF file or exported each image in JASC Paint Shop Pro 9.0 with 256 colors and 100% dithering for the clearest look. Once each image is numbered and saved as a gif file, I opened each image (numerically backwards, that is, I opened image ten first and then nine, etc.), one at a time, in a FREE version Microsoft GIF Animator. Once all ten images are in place, I click on the Animation tab, where I place a check mark next to "Looping" and "Repeat Forever." Next, I click on the "Image" tab and drop down to "Duration." Here, as each image is active (by clicking on the image), I chose 10 (1/100ths) for all the images where one letter was highlighted with pink and 20 (1/100ths) for the first image (where no color was added). Then, tah dah, I save the file and peek at it in JASC Animation Shop 3.0 to make sure it was created properly. I hope that sort of answered your question. ~ Alicia *P.S.
