How do I use an uploaded myspace gif as a background?

Friday, November 6th, 2009

For some reason the profile editor won’t let me use their application because it keeps saying I have html/coding on my page that will disable the way myspace shows my layout and that I have to remove it first. Is there a way to get around that and use the gif I want to use. I want to put the pattern on repeat so it covers the whole background area.

you could use this….

How do I make an already saved gif black and white?

Monday, October 26th, 2009

I’ve tried photobucket but you can’t edit gifs on there.

P.S. Don’t answer the question if you don’t know what a gif is.
I want to turn a gif I have already made and saved into a black and white gif.

I’d like something free that can either be a downloadable program or on the internet.

Thanks. :)
Free gimp has the option to change to greyscale. Open the gif using gimp then go direct to save as and make sure you choose a new location so as not to overright your old gif, on saving the option will show to convert to greyscale and also make sure you select to keep animation, click export and that is you done.

Irfanview is good but very basic and doesn’t have the option to change animated gif files.

How do I compress a 13 mb .gif image to make it work on web as an avatar?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

I have made a .gif image from a video but the problem is its way too heavy to to upload. Are there any free software to fix this? or, Do I have to compress the video first? if so, then how to compress a video?

You can’t stuff an elephant into a mailbox. You should probably reduce the length of the video. Usually the compression of the video itself doesn’t matter because it gets recompressed as a static image when converted to a gif. Gif files for avatars can only hold a couple of seconds of motion at best.

How do I convert a picture in Microsoft Word to a jpg or gif file?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

This is really urgent - please help me out. I need to send a picture as a jpg or gif file by e-mail. Does anyone know how to convert it?

Well, firstly, where did you get the picture you have in the Word document? If you know where you originally got it from, just locate it again and send that file.

Alternatively, if all you have is the image in the Word document, copy it, and paste it into any image editing program you may have. If you know you don’t have any downloaded image editing programs such as Fireworks or Photoshop, you can just use Microsoft Paint.

So go into Paint, and paste your image. Crop it to where you want it (by using the corners of the canvas), then go to File >> Save As. In the "Save as type" box, click the arrow that brings up the drop-down menu, and select either JPEG or GIF. Call the file whatever you want, and save it wherever you want.

Hope this helps!

How do i save a gif file to my computer?

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

I try right clicking and saving it like a normal picture. But that just saves the the gif at the frame that i clicked save on.

How do i save a gif to my computer so i actually have the gif?

What you did should be enough.
Rt-Click in the middle of the pic >>click save image as >>
in the window browse to a location and then click save button.
There is not much difference in saving any type of file.

There is a possibility that rt-click and save is disabled by the administrator. Are you working from home or some where else.
Also can you save other type of images.
