You can always download the trial on the official adobe site. Now they have CS5, it's worth trying out, it's really cool!

This helped so much! but dA won't let me use the animated version of my avatar cuz it says "cannot fit to resize" so I can only use a still picture.... do you know why that is? I did 50x50 pixels

Do you mean it's just pictures scrolling or interactive?
usually banners are flash but otherwise, its the same concept of frames.

this tutorial is awesome but do you know why some gifs move slower once you upload them?
It looks fine in photoshop but once its on DA, it moves at like half speed.
Any clue?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sometimes when the gif is a bigger file, you have to wait a while for it to load and then it should move at normal speed

i think it has something to do with firefox, cause after its finished loading its still slow,
so i might try getting rid of a few frames.
thanks anyway
