[Tutorial]How to make animated gif files

[Chris]

2nd Example


Now we are going to make a part of a pic "flash".
We have this pic(it's from the terminator movie):

terminator-4.jpg


We open it in Paint.NET,we resize it if we want to and then we save it as a gif file.
Now we open the original pic and we click in the category "Adjustments" and we click on "Brightness/Contrast".We set Brightness to around 60 and we click on ok.





Now,we are going to use a special tool called "Magic Wand".
After we clicked on it,we click on each eye of the robot in our pic(you can hold "Ctrl" to click on more than one item).
After that,click on the category "Edit"-->"Copy".
Open the original pic and click on the category "Edit"-->"Paste".Save the pic as a gif file.





So we have 2 pics again: the original and one with very bright eyes.

We follow the same procedure with the previous examples to create a gif file using Microsoft gif animator.Don't forget to open first the "bright eyes" pic and then add the original pic.

Here's the result:


terminator.gif



I used the magic wand to click on more parts of the robot and i created this:
