I'm tired of only being able to post static images of rocks, especially the ones with fire, chatoyancy, or other cool light and angle effects. I want moving pictures of rocks too! I can use a small turntable to rotate a small subject and take several frames at slightly varying angles to create a sequence of images showing the effect light and angle has on a tigereye but then how do I go about creating an animated GIF file from 3-6 of these frames that would have enough resolution and be large enough to show the effect off faithfully? I know some photo software will let you save an image as a GIF file but it usually degrades it if you don't convert it first and you still only get one static frame. So, I assume I have to get some other kind of software to make an aniGIF right? Anyone?... Anyone?.... ... Beuller?... ;D

I found one of those "try it 20 times free" shareware dealies, let's see if my test GIF works... Not bad, those are three frames of some high speed photos I took of water drops from my kitchen faucet. Now I will have to try it with a spinning tigereye and if that works, I have a few other things i'd like to try before the software locks itself up... Anybody know of some good software for this that's "actually" free?

Are you working on a PC or a MAC? Some software apps work best on one platform or the other.
