Switch the foreground and background colours, that should do the trick

Gah! I wish I had something better than Gimp! I can't figure out how to do it. I don't even know how to make the grid show up.

emptysaucer In reply to Vivienne-Mercier [2008-08-16 00:32:02 +0000 UTC]

Just make a second layer, hide the background layer, and increase the magnification to 800%.

And GIMP is excellent! It's what I use.

Ha!

you have amusing comments. Anyhow, I tried actually drawing it... and well it didn't quite work so I started taking the pencil tool and made the radius bigger and it became a circle. Then I could jut erase the inside and ha ha! it be done.

I had a very old tutorial explaining the basics of animating. look back in my gallery. but if you use flash or image ready, there are lots of very good tutorials if just just DevSearch them

OK, never mind. And how Do I animate?

Jeddy-X In reply to inka-inka [2008-11-08 13:01:52 +0000 UTC]

You can animate with Photoshops by using layers as frames, then save as for web... the save as for web saves it as a GIF, or you can save it as a animated GIF, both do the same thing.

Xrodias In reply to ??? [2006-04-02 10:57:25 +0000 UTC]

Its Adobe CS2. Or, in my case Adobe Elements. But its just the same as any adobe pretty much. and the basic idea works in almost any graphic program
