Wow! Thank you. I will check that out.

One little question....does imageready also compress (for lack of a better word) the individual images into a single animated gif? I bought "GIF Movie Gear", tried preparing each graphic in photoshop and then uploading them to Movie Gear which will put them together in a single animation, but I have been having some problems getting the program to work just right. Anyway, you are saying I can do the entire thing in Photoshop?

This opens up a whole new world of possibilities, as soon as I get a few minutes I will check it out.

I have never heard of GIF Movie Gear, but I can advise you to throw it away. LOL

It may be a fine program, but with Photoshop 7, you don't need it.

Yes, Imageready compresses it all into a single animated GIF and exports it. VERY easy.

To get started, you can place all your frames into a certain folder, then in Imageready, you do file/import/folder as frames and they automatically import as an animation. There is an animation pallette, with VCR controls, etc.

You set the sequence of how you want the frames to appear, plus the duration of each frame.

I think you can even import a layered file where each layer is a frame, but I've never done it that way yet.

Then you export as a GIF. It is VERY easy. It may take a LITTLE trial and error, but I don't think it will take you long.

You can be doing animations by lunchtime, probably. Let's see, California is two hours behind Texas, I think.

Yeah, by lunchtime, definitely. :-)
