hey im looking for an animation program thats like 'adobe image ready', that you can create animation slide by slide and end up as a .gif

Ive been searching and nothing good comes up wondering if any of you guys could give a program that i could simply download thanks.

Welcome EvilDoom.

So looking for program for creating animated GIFs?
Besides Adobe ImageReady (with Photoshop) you can try:

Ulead GIF Animator

if u use this one will you tell me how fast the download gets to? thanks

30-31 Kbs/s here

thanks... i only have dail-up... can't get anything better here... Is that about average?

Well, depends on connection.. i got highspeed cable. Took about 2 sec to download if that helps
P.S. I think we are getting bit off topic though

i can't get the programme.. hmmm

The link tested fine for me despite this thread being somewhat dated.
Otherwise try the download page that can be found here.

P.S. Likely uses a cookie to track referrer so that's why direct link doesn't work.

Yea, if doesn't work by simply clicking it, right-click and select 'Save As'...
