Making transparent GIFs...
« on: January 17, 2007, 08:02:40 PM »
Anyone know how to do this with the GIMP, or know of an idiot proof guide to doing so?  I have a bunch of emotes I want to be able to make transparent; they're already animated with Movies13, but that program hates transparencies.
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

I always ask the O-master about problems with my computer.

That was just clicking 'export'; I don't know much about making them from scratch.  I've got some crappy shareware program for it that slaps an ad across any I make, but I've only used it once, and don't feel like paying to unlock it.  I also know that they can be made by editing hex code with a hex editor, but that's a bit out of my depth.
