All animated GIFs are kitsch.

Thanks for your response Gerry and Theo.
How do you make those pictures glitter? or sparkle?
I like the way it just looks like settled led but it's on web picture.

I'm just new to this sort of thing. From what I understand .gif or .jpeg or .pdf are just extension of the picture file, correct?
If so, then what software do you use to make glittering sparkling pictures as these? Please point me to the right direction.

Thank you copper for the help. Now, I know you can make animated pictures with photoshop. A lot of cool stuff I never knew could be done.

Thanks again.

it's a very simple 2 / 3 frame animated gif, very simple to add the stars etc over the illustration ... photoshop or any one of a thousand other gfx app's will let u do it ...

My professional head would say dont bother, try learning html5. But, Serif DrawPlus can be bought for around $30 and is cheap but effective design software for creating gifs, flash and static graphics in jpg, png etc. When I started out this software was invaluable, check it out!

Cooper, thanks. Thanks to google. It makes a lot of things easier for people. I've gained a lot of knowledge from the company, probably much more than I realize. Thanks to the forum having everyone meet and help one another.

Gerry, thanks again. Free thing is always good, especially for a beginner.

Namenetwork, thanks. I'll have to play around with it. I'm in the learning mode, so I'll try it out. Good thing too is that there's things as youtube, which didn't exist 10 years or so ago.

Fabbstar, thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into it.

I like free stuff, especially when I'm first starting to learn new things.
