Animated GIF Making

[kybearfuzz]

Okay, I spent part of the evening reviewing some work and the rest learning a bit about GIF files. I play a computer guy at work, but I really lack some of the more fun knowledge.

Does anyone have an animated GIF maker program they would recommend that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? I'm learning the basics with a somewhat outdated GIFBuilder program. I managed to create a Wonder Woman one I've wanted to try out, but the colors are grainy. What would you recommend I get? Remember that I'm a Mac Tramp. Thanks.

One thing that can help is to make sure you use the same color palette on all of them. Of course if you don't have something like photoshop, this is not the easiest thing to do but...

If you are at all handy with command line tools and are using MacOS X there are a lot of free utilities that are pretty good.

Hey there! I'm not all that great with command lines, but I'm always willing to try. :)
