Hiya all,
I've seen quite a few sigs that move/animate.
What program and how do you do this.
Thanks,

Many programs make images aninmate. Some are better than others, a popular choice is photoshop or fireworks however there are pacfic program designed for making animated images, however some do not export in the disered quality.

Please note: For the image to aninmate you need to export it is an animated gif.

Most Photoshop use Adobe Image Ready.
You use different layers and show them at different times.
They have to be a .gif file for them to work.

Try this:

I was just going to post the same topic...
I like Ulead GIF Animator, it's great, easy to use and understand.. but it costs and the trial has run out..
Anyone reccomend any others that are free?

I use Ulead GIF Animator 2 (Yes, it's very old, but I found the full version on a magazine some years ago).
I don't know if The Gimp does this, I can't check now, it's too late, I need to go to bed.
So, try The Gimp, it's like photoshop but It's free.
