ImageMagick

wow - it could be any number of things. I've had that happen on occasion as well. It's happened with glittler gifs I've used forever - that all of a sudden start to blink instead of sparkle & shimmer, so I know it's not the image. That sort of leaves it to a possible upgrade with the imagers. Someti...

Not something I've done a lot with - but Josh has one of the most in-depth sites with all sorts of tutorials on working with glitter in a variety of ways. The first one here is what I think you're looking for.

you can use this one - then save it in your PC or file manager

http://mlski.net/misc/trans.gif (this is sized to 432x100 - for the size I generally use for my names - resize it to whatever size you need - then save it)

Hmmmm - you mean something like this? http://mlski.net/misc/ml-spkl.gif Not sure how they did it, but this is what I did - 1. put the URL for your transparent gif in the view bar & click view 2. Click on Annotate - enter the name or text you want in the text box I centered my name In the fill box & ...

Hi Linda -

The effect you're looking at is likely a java applet. Not sure if webtv can do that or not. I have something for that in my PC at home - I'm at work right now, but I'll hunt it down if no one else posts a reply.

umm - are you trying to make the background transparent?? If so you need to change the format of the graphic to a gif. Jpgs can't be made transparent. From there you should be able to transparentize the background.

Morphing isn't hard - basically you start the same way you would with an animation of 2 frames - but instead of just going back & forth - you actually slow the morph into several frames between the 2 pics so that you have pics in the middle that fuse the 2 together. (It helps to have your pictures a...

Hi - IM won't host your pictures - for that you need to use Photobucket. I'm guessing you have your pictures in your hard drive in your PC? When you come into IM - click the browse button & go to the file in your PC where your pictures are. Click on one of the pictures to enter the PC addy into the ...

hmmmm - I just tried using all 4 imagers and had no problem. The only thing I can think of is that something is screwy with the banner you're bringing in from the banner generator. I just annotated on a trans. back using IM when I did my tests. What's the URL of the banner you're bringing in from th...

What is the process you're using?
Which imager are you using?
What are the graphics you 're using?

Not sure just what you're after - do you want to see actual graphics that people have made? You could find nearly any webtv users site & find graphics made using Image Magick since it's really the only full-bodied graphics program that the online users who don't have the ability to DL a program can ...

easiest would be to make you glitter image & save it - then composite it to the image.

May not alwasy work though - but it's a starting point.

Thanks Diana -

I've been updating & redoing my tools page and wanted to include the mirrors & the discussion group in the IM section. Are you still on your webtv? or doing PC now - or both?

Yes - you can set the transparancy at the banner generator - be sure you set it to the background - don't leave it on none - that will leave you with the white background. However - you can do all of your banner at IM - even the text by clicking on the "annotate" button. That way you can bring your ...

need more information -

1. What IM are you using?
2. What are the graphics you're using?
3. What is the process that you're using to make your gif?
4. PC or webtv/msntv?
