Yup, I'll make you one later. Alex, you too.

As for importing it into AIM, save it to your computer. Go into your AIM preferences and I think it's under Experssions. You can upload a pic from your computer.


ChinoX, this one is for buddy icons.....NOT SIGS!

 

thanks a lot erty. you tha best !

 

Thanks in advance!!!!

 

 

 

erty do u use photoshop to create these ? i used photoshop and made them all 50x50 and GIF format but i dunno how to turn them info flash. did u use photoshop to turn them into flash as well?

also, how do u reduce them down to 50x50 and still maintain the original proportions. LOL

its good to learn

 

image ready will turn them into animated gifs you'll need to use that and create frames and control what is seen in a frame and tween between different pics.

 

oh man i remember some stuff. i took photoshop class years ago and we worked on mac's. it was like 6 years ago and i remember some stuff about layers and attachin images to each other. too bad i forgot everythin lol

 

Hey erty, is this just a matter of resizing and then lining them up in photoshop's sister program that handles gifs, etc? I forget the name of it.

nice job and damn you have some patience!

 

Ulead GIF Animator, my friends

 

Ed thanx alot!!

 

okay, i just tried to do this but i don't see anyway to upload the pic to AIM under expressions or buddy icons. Am I doing something wrong?

 

My AIM -> Edit Option -> Edit Preferences -> Buddy Icons -> Browse PC

Okay, my problem. I tried doing this myself but the damn file is always too big! AIM has a limit of 7KB!! I've resized my picture to like....50x50 and it's still too big. Grrr....guess I gotta use just 2 pics.

 

post it here....I'll see if I can narrow down the file size

 

 

that's already under 7k

 

Oh yeah, I fixed it, but I was wondering how you'd go about shrinking it down even more?

 

lower color and dither settings

 

Cool that would be really nice, I didn't think AOL let you put your own buddy icon on it.

 

Hehe. Dither. Sounds like a dirty word.

Yeah, I kept lowering resolution, didn't think to touch dither. I'll dither my icon, see if I can lower the size.

 

dam those are hot

 

good job with the icons, they look pretty sweet.

 

Thanks for the compliments

 

uh huh, somebody capitalized something

 

umm....i don't know what you're talking about.

 

those icons are pretty cool

 

can someone please tell me how to make one like those above with 3 flashing pictures??

 

gimme 3 pictures

 

lol can you give me your e-mail? i'll send it to you there, and can you also tell me how to do it myself? thanks

This is how I do it. I take each picture and shrink/crop it down to a 50x50 picture, using photoshop. Then I go into Ulead GIF Animator and put the three of them into a GIF, setting each pic for about 1.2 seconds.

 

erty is the man!

 

can u make me one too erty heh!

 

 

for those who haven't seen mine...

 

erty wen i save it it dusnt save as like a moving picture, how do i get it to move on the buddy icon

 

save it as a GIF file onto your computer. Then go into Preferences on AIM and "browse from your computer".

 

can you make me one from my cardomain site?

thanks
Ed (my name is Ed too)

 

hey erty, why is this so blurry when put into as a buddy icon?

 

I'll make you one when I get home.

I dunno man. I just make them. Anyonw else having that problem???
