Artist's Comments

IMPORTANT NOTE: For those using this for dA avatars, just after you've finished your animation, saved it, go to Filters->Animation->Optimize (for GIF).

It will spit out a new file, that plays the same as your gif, but it will be a smaller size (for those worried about the 15kB limit.)

This tutorial is easy to follow :thumbsup: but I don't approve of that last part. It is easier to click the eye symbol to make other layers invisible while editing.

Not if you have 600 layers. ;)

Hey, thanks for your remarks :) It IS easier when you're working with 10 or less frames =)

the only qualms I have about using the gif makers is always the damned file sizes *bleh* you have to be pretty careful if its for a site with size limits. There are also a couple little handy tricks you can play with to get more of a merge, depth merging is pretty easy but there are a couple others when it regards layers that allow nice features like blend.

I've added a note to the artist's comments about how to make GIF's smaller with the GIMP. Thanks for the favourite :)
