Adventures in Photoshop and comm pimping

[mfirefly10]

So I took a stab at animated GIFs again and I think these turned out okay. Not great by any stretch of the imagination but passable. If anyone has any tips/tricks/etc on making GIFs, I’d really appreciate the info. Also, anyone know how to compress the animated icons so they fit LJ’s 40 KB limit? ‘Cause my Juliet ‘hugs’ icon was meant to be a James/Juliet hug but I couldn’t squeeze any of his frames in:( Feel free to snag anything you like.








Also, whedonland and twelvecolonies are going through the last few days/weeks of the 1st round which means it’s the perfect time to sign up before the new one begins in October. Go join (Teams Firefly and Galactica)...or one of those lesser teams:)

Hey, we've got some WAY-more-awesome-than-regular-humans on our team! Kara Thrace, perhaps?! And Sammy and Helo and Athena and even Caprica 6 for a little while. Plus, we had those pretty space-pimps (*points to icon*) :D

I have no idea how to compress them more...I still have to learn how to make gifs *blushes* (It's time to read that tutorial how to do it in Photoshop...)

Thanks:)

It took me many, many attempts to make anything even remotely passable. Photoshop is a fickle little thing :D
