Need some help and advice on GIFS and Signatures

[Miss Tammie]

Kaltxi my clan,

I see so many people here with beautiful and exquisitely made gifs and signatures. I don't like to borrow others or their ideas and would love to make my own.

I would like to find programs/software that is free and user friendly since I am a beginner. I have tried using some other "gif makers" and they turned out like crap. Any ideas on the gifs and how to make them?

As far as signtures, what do most of you use? Photoshop? Picasa? Also looking for free and user friendly software/programs for signatures.

Any help or advice would be tremendously appreciated. Irayo.

Want a piece of advice?.... DO NOT trust Helaku to make your sigs...

Here is a post someone posted about how to make sigs...

This should help.

Oh BTW, I love your gif. Why would u want to change it?

Well technically all the programs I use are "free" but one that is actually free is GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

It has all the features of Photoshop (I believe and have heard that) and is free, but like photoshop has a semi-steep learning curve

I'm unsure of other programs but gimp is best bet feature wise

and I'm with Palulukan I like your gif as well ^^

last note: I make sigs for anyone (gifs on the other hand, well I do them best without a specified content in it video wise) if you ever wanted one, throw me a pm and we can talk, I'd play around with gimp tho :P

I just use photoshop.. and not tremendously well. It makes .gifs and regular signatures quite well as long as your up to putting the time in for it.
