View Full Version : Is it possible to make a GIF out of these images?

I know someone on here can do it.

I have these 3 pics. All shot from the same exact spot with a tripod. One is with my lights off, other is with the fogs on, then the headlights.

Can someone make them into a GIF in that same order? I would have put this into the sig request thread, but it's a bit different that a regular sig request. (Chris, LMK if you want me to delete the thread and post in the sticky.)

Pics:

If you can also edit them a bit and crop them to a reasonable size for a sig (400 x 200ish) or about the same size of my current sig, that would be great. Thanks.

I tried it but it's not working out so well. The tripod isn't perfect in the pics, and since you have your lights on... the reflection doesn't match up. I dunno, it will be tricky to accomplish. Also some pics are darker than the others. I would normally just cut out the headlights but since it's at dusk... with reflection... yeah lol

That's what he's talking about more or less, he just wants them combined as one image so they turn on/off I assume.

CS3's auto-align layer function helps tremendously here. Give me a couple of minutes.

Is that what you're looking for?

Chris's is good... except it's kind of grainy *runs and hides*

They really have to be good, exact pics to come out with the same quality.

guys could you post up the steps to do this? i want to do it with my car but a different way not using the lights

.:Chris:.

Mine's got grain because I was trying to save space by reducing the number of colors. If you're familiar with the sig rules (this was meant to be a sig after all) you know that the size limit is 100k.

I didn't make it, and nobody ever seems to enforce it... but that's not the point! :grin:

Full 256 color that GIF allows:

Faster animation - this is what I did originally but it's WAY annoying... so don't use it as a sig plz. :)

LOL -- that last one makes him look like a cop. Badass.

The pic with his headlights is darker, you should've increased the brightness by 5. God, your such a begineer at this! ;)

LOL, yeah. I saw it was off and didn't bother trying to adjust it. What can I say, first time photoshopper. :lol:

EroticA, Drop down the 'Window' menu and click Animation. Make new frames in the animation window, turn layers on/off with the eyeball next to them... and that's pretty much how it works.

If you can't figure it out easily, google for a tutorial. It's easy. Make sure you save as .gif obviously.

Thanks Chris and Skwirt!.. I decided to use Skwirts because I like how it shows the "reflection" of the fogs on the ground ahead, and how it's a bit less grainy. (even though it's probably against the sig rules. :P )

(even though it's probably against the sig rules. :P )

Actually, at 106k it's damn close to complying. Unfortunately there are people out there with animated gif's in their sig that are 1-2mb and they seem to get away with it. :nono:

has to be saved as a .gif and then reloaded as the .gif file in order to get it to move..

.:Chris:.
01-30-2008, 06:00 PM
I don't think TR allows animated gif's for avatars. If they did, I'd bet Skwirt's S1 would be moving in his avatar.
