The first trick is taking out the background that you don't want (if there is one). Make a new transparent image just a little bit larger than the one you are working with.

Copy the image you are working with and paste it into your new image as a new layer.

For removing background color, using the selection tool, select and delete the background color(s) that you want to remove. Then/or clean it up using the eraser tool, reducing its size in pixels as you get closer to the edge of what you want to be your final image on a transparent background. Zoom in on it when you are in the finishing touches to make sure you clean up stray pixels and pixels you don't want on the edge of your finished product.

When the image is cleaned up to your liking, simply merge the layers (visible) or delete your original transparent layer.

Save it in .psp format and then run the animation shop, using the animation wizard to create a new animation...be sure to specify a transparent background and then just select your saved .psp image and click through until it is finished.

Save it as a .gif and there it is!

PSP allows you the option to export a gif file from an existing image without running the animation shop but it distorts resolution to an extreme so as long as you have the animation shop, use it because the end product is much better looking.

Also, remember your psp help files to help you along if ever you need it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
