hey do any of you guys know of a program that i can use to convert pictures into a gif? i have like 20 different pictures i want to put into one.
The GIMP (and, I'm sure, Photoshop) can do it fairly easily.
In The GIMP, create a new image (or open one of them). Hit "Open as Layer" and select the rest of the pictures. Then save, and set the animation options. Photoshop should be virtually identical.
(I haven't tested that, but I don't see why it wouldn't work)
ImageMagick comes with a suite of graphics tools, including "convert"
convert thing.ext1 thing.ext2
Can't get any easier than that

By his post, I think he wants to combine them all into a single image.

I think you'd have to use a more descriptive search string. Most of the results you pull up from that query are going to be programs that convert from one encoding to another, but he wants to take 20 JPGs and make them frames of one GIF.

Sounds like he wants an animated gif.

Yes, and that's what I told him how to do in the first post here.
I don't think imagemagick can do that, unless I'm mistaken?

A quick Google query reveals you can (not surprisingly). ImageMagick is not just "convert"...its actually quite a large and featureful suite of graphic manipulation tools.
The tutorial is here (http://www.tjhsst.edu/~dhyatt/supercomp/n401a.html)...and look, its still easier than Gimp.

That's really neat! I didn't know it could do that.
Hagen, you're going to want to navigate yourself over to this page (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows) for the Windows version of it.

More than one tool? You don't say! Tell me more, please.
You don't have to be an asshole about it -- unlike you (apparently), most people don't know everything.
In any case, giving somebody a UNIX solution who isn't a UNIX user is pointless.

I most certainly don't know everything...I had to Google to find out how ImageMagick could generate animated gifs. It would be hard to believe that ImageMagick couldn't do something like that. For simple things, Gimp is overkill...I've even found myself staring at Gimp and its options for long amounts of time trying to figure out how to do something simple.
If ImageMagick is a Unix solution, then so is Gimp...even though both offer Windows versions.

GIMP is more of a Windows solution, because it has windows and stuff, so it's fairly usable by people who don't understand Linux. But I also said that photoshop could be used in a very similar way, which I imagine is true.
thanks mates for your help i am going with iagos GIMP it seems easy. but one thing i have it all out but i cannot find the animation button.
I believe it asks you when you save it, but I could be wrong.

Put some frames in between the pictures. Talk about major headache watching that as it is.
