ANIMATION
1. Go to File>Animation Wizard.
2. Pop up one Same Size as First one is the only one checked click next.
3. Upper left hand corner and with canvas color checked click next.
4. Yes, repeat animation indefinitely and type in 50 in the box click next.
5. Click on the box Add Image add all your images making sure you have starting with V1.psp and ending with your last V__.psp mine being V23.psp click next.
6. Click Finish on the last Pop Up Window.
7. Don't do anything yet. We need to resize your animation.
8. Go to Animation>Resize Animation. Make sure in pop up the pixel size is checked and make sure no number is larger than 300x300. Aspect ratio at the bottom of the screen should have check mark click ok.
9. Go to View>Animation. I wanted my last frame not to move as fast as the others so go to your last frame click on the frame. Right Click and go to Frame Properties. When the pop up appears type in 100 click ok. This will make the last frame last a little longer before starting over at Frame 1 again.
10. We are going to save this now and I did mine a little different. When I put animation images in email with drop shadow I get dark edges around my image. So how I decided to fix it was in saving the image. I want most of my animations on a white background. If I want any other background I add it when you are setting up your animation wizard. Ok on with saving this image. 11. Go to File>Save As name your animation and make sure you are saving it as a gif file.
12. In the first pop up window click on the word customize.
13. In the next pop up window click on tab Partial Transparency. Look in the middle it asks Would you like to blend the paritally transparent pixels. Yes will be checked see the color box? Click on it and change your color to white. Now you can only use this on a white background or it will show up the edges we are putting on it at this point so the drop shadows look nice. Click apply or ok you will then finish on through the saving of your animation as normal. You will get a white edge around your animation this is my choice to do this so I won't get dark edges.
