If you click my user name, all of those gifs were made using that program. It does decently.

Sapphire do you have a preference program wise for creating images?
I don't have a preferred program for making gifs, its not something ive done in awhile so i'm not up to date on whats best to use.

One thing to keep an eye out for is that certain older gif programs used to use a single 256 color palette that was shared across every single frame of the gif (creating extra grainy/washed out images).
Depending on the program you may use, there may be an option to toggle this on/off, which will affect the quality of the output (and the filesize of the gif)

Now you have me interested again in gifmaking, i'll have to see what newer programs are out there now >.>


Kali, PS uses a variation of a dithering technique which is why you see those artifacts when zoomed in on your image.
For the nerdy inclined:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dithering
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd%E2%80%93Steinberg_dithering

If you have your brower window scaled up you'll notice the artifacts more, when the image is viewed normally and not under close inspection it works very well which is why dithering in GIF creation programs is applied to all frames by default.

Abso-***'-lutely I would. Plus, I practically drive a monster truck, so if anyone tried to collide into me, I'd just run them over.

And I'm making back most of the points I spend opening the capsules from the points the capsules give me. This might not be as bad as I thought. :x

Guess when National Tabletop Day is this year? MY BIRTHDAY! :D

I'm going to eat so much cake and ice cream in celebration of National Tabletop Day! I refuse to get another year older, so having other events to celebrate on my birthday is just tops. ^^

He treated an employee like crap apparently and he's on his last strike. So either I let it go, I try to get him fired or I tear him a new one bleh

Magnuss work tomorrow for me
Tear him a new one. If he gets lippy, he deserves to be fired.

But I may be a cold man.

I don't wanna go to work. x.x I also want cake or something else sweet.

Will they remove whatever you uploaded before or will you get to keep that?

I can deal with cold. Granted I may shiver and rattle like the skeleton I am, but I can deal!

It's the idea of work that bugs me. x.x Doesn't help everyone I know from work has been complaining to me about work. It's like... guys you understand I'm already looking at other opportunities myself, do you want me to leave faster by reminding me constantly about ***that's wrong? XP

Anyway, how's the snow lookin' around there? It's light here for the moment.

Roads are pretty much clear now, but yards are still well covered, if thinly.

And yeah, lots of bitching where I work too. Feel bad about wanting to leave. It's becoming more and more apparent my chefs are hoping I become a career cook/chef.

Unfortunately I don't enjoy cooking enough that I'd want to do it every day for the rest of my life. Not to mention, cook wages are ***around here. I'd never be able to support a family. And salary pay is stupid as hell. I'd like to be able to spend time with this potential family of mine as well instead of spending 60+ hours per week at work.
