While I do use MSPaint to draw my dolls, I use the free program Irfan View to save them as gifs- and I highly recommend it to others! It's free for download and pretty simple to use. If you're interested in learning more about this program, please visit their official site. And be sure to check out Xandorra's awesome tutorial about the program, too!

If you are starting a new GIF image, go to File/New, select "256 colors (8 bit)", and a background color which will stand out from the rest of your image. Click the "eyedropper" tool, and right-click on the blank image. Then go to Colors/Set Palette Transparency, and select "Set the transparency value to the current background color" and click "OK". To see the transparency, go to Colors/View Palette Transparency. See similar questions...

A | Yes-animated gifs are relatively easy to design, provided you are using the right tools. We recommend as they are the premier graphics software programs. Programs such as Photoshop Elements are reasonable easy to learn and relatively inexpensive. Also, glitterbank.com’s detailed tutorials on creating animated gifs can be found here.

You can't do all of this with Paint Shop Pro. However, you can do this with Animation Shop, which comes bundled with PSP 5. If you don't yet have this, you can start by creating each frame of the animation in PSP. Use identical sizes identical palettes and the same transparent color for each frame. Then use another GIF Animator program (Microsoft used to give one away. In a fit of originality, it was called MS Gif Animator) to assemble the frames and set the timing. See similar questions...

You need to have your own graphics program to do these sorts of things, as well as adding any text or decorations to pictures you find online.

Please don’t ask! Only if you have good reasons and it is relevant to your business. If it’s just a personal site – OK, but otherwise it’s generally considered a bit twee. Animated gifs are strongly discouraged on sites that aim to be accessible for people with disabilities especially if they cannot be slowed down or switched off. Flashing animation is usually actually distracting rather than attracting and causes vistors to leave rather than attracting them to action. See similar questions...

Those are called avatars. To change (or simply have) your avatar, go into your control panel and click on the avatar settings. Type the link of a hosted picture. If you don't have one, you will need to find someone who wants to host your picture on their web server. A few sites are ready to provide such services for free. The images can be jpegs, gifs or ping (portable networks graphics); in order to have animation they must be gifs though. See similar questions...

Yes, but it will not allow you to see the background of your webpage housing the applet. Web browsers allocate an area of the web page for the applet... and this area is forced to be light gray in color (usually). So, if you use a transparent GIF in your applet, you will simply see back to the gray background. Most of the applets at The Applet Depot; have some sort of parameter to allow you to pick a background color for the applet (parameter BGCOLOR, usually). See similar questions...

Many of PSPs effects, including the filters, only work on images with a color depth of 16 million colors (24-bit color), or occasionally, 256-grays. If you open a GIF, it will have a palette with up to 256 colors. To fix this, go to Colors / Increase Color Depth / 16 Million Colors (24 bit), then try using the filters. Unfortunately, most filters will leave you with more than the 256 colors your image started with, and you will have to reduce the color depth to resave the image as a GIF. See similar questions...
