Trying out a gif

Re: gif
 

didn't work - don't know why this gif file gets converted to a jpg file automatically, without any input from me.:confused:

Re: gif
 

If you're uploading it as gif it should stay as gif.

if you are altering it in a prog' then saving it, be sure it's again saved as gif (some progs default to what they consider best).

If you already knew this, don't shout at me, you have a problem.
:o

Re: gif
 

I didn't know that - thanks for the info.
I don't shout. - as I have said many times - I don't worry or get angry any more - the Zen has calmed me :D

Re: gif
 

trying again

doesn't work yet

It is saved in My Pictures as gif but converts to jpg when I put it on here

Re: gif
 

In case you are wondering why a block of concrete is interesting - I explain - it is a good example of photo manipulation via lens distortion.

Re: gif
 

Clever clogs - how did you do that?

Re: gif
 

A free prog called gimp, (plenty of tutorials) though if you are correct and you're uploading a .gif it should remain a .gif

:confused:

Re: gif
 

Thanks - found it

GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

I may get a round toowit.

Re: gif
 

It is one of these Oh my God how do I start type progs to begin with, but well worth the effort to get in to. as I say plenty of tutorials and loads of google examples.


:)

Can I just say Margaret "Gif" is used mainly for animation so if your photo is a still I cant see the point in using Gif you can use Jpeg

Re: gif
 

It is a GIF of a dolly zoom that Margaret's trying to upload...

Re: gif
 

I was going to use this as an example of image distortion that the media use to manipulate our perception of events they broadcast - another way of photo manipulation.
(which is another tool to add to photoshopping and event stageing)

Re: gif
 

You just find the address of the GIF you want to use and copy it to your clipboard, then when you are composing your post, click the "insert image" button that's right over your text, and paste in the address.

I look forward to your thread on image manipulation. In the meantime, here's another GIF...

Re: gif
 

another test

It works when you click the link.

Thanks Studio :D

A more refined version with the item displaying will have to wait until I learn more.

I think you're just pasting the link into the message body. You need to press the "insert image" button (it's a yellow square with some mountains) and paste the link into the box that pops up.
