I can put up sites and I know HTML (amature) but I haven't been able to get down on how to animate a picture.

I want to animate a banner or logo for my business and just don't know where to start. Can anyone help?

I have Paint Shop Pro 5.0 (can't afford 7.0 yet) I also use ArcSoft Photo Studio, along with other programs. What can I do?

ANy Help would be great!~

You cannot animate .jpg images. How is .gif animated? You have to start with software capable of doing that. I don't know if the software that you have can do animated gif's - maybe somebody else can chime in who uses at least one of your listed softwares. You can also take a look at

http://animation.about.com/cs/gifanimators/

- they list some gif animation software, including some free software, I think.

Basic idea behind gif animations is creating multiple layers with different images on them, and setting the speed with which images "switch" from one to the other.

Thanks mama, that did help! I will look into that link and see if my software can do those or not.

I used some software called ANIMAGIC and it made animated .gifs really easy.
