How To Make An Animated Gif Like Mine!
I made my animated Gif using Ulead Gif Animator 5.05 which I got as part of my purchase of Ulead's PhotoImpact 10 a couple of years ago.

I still like Ulead Gif Animator 5.05 because it does all I need it do and more.
But if you just beginning and want something to play around with there is a Free option available!
Beneton Movie GIF 1.1

Once you've got Beneton Movie Gif downloaded, installed and started up – all you need to do is add pictures, set the delay times and save your animated Gif!
Here are the pictures for my animation:
Click on “Add frame(s) from a file” and add your pictures one by one:
Until all your pictures have been added to the animation:
Now set the Delay timing for each Frame by Right-Clicking and selecting “Change Delay”:
Timings are set in 100ths of a second so a setting of 100 means the frame is shown for 1 second before the next frame is shown. Set the delay for each frame and then click the “Play Animation” button to preview your animation:
Adjust any timing settings that aren't right and then save your new animation as a Gif:
And that's all, folks:
Of course Beneton Movie GIF 1.1 has other abilities like being able to apply effects to frames:
Click on “Detect edges” and choose “Charcoal” and “All Frames” then click “OK”:
And the effect will be applied to all the frames in the animation:
Then “Play” the animation and if you like it then save it with a different name as before and you have another new animated Gif:
X!
