    Hi,
    just wondering how to put a few images together to make a changeable gif image. I have dreamweaver. So can I just make images in paint for example and join them up somehow? Thanks:)

    Try thegimp (http://www.gimp.org/)
    I'm not sure if it supports animated gifs, but there is plenty of software that does. Use google :)

    Not the best tool but I used Flash.

    Surely Photoshop and PSP do it also.

    You mean an animated gif or rollovers? If rollovers, just use any image editor and create two different versions of the image, then Google for "rollovers". If the former, Google for "Gif Movie Gear", which I used in the past in conjunction with Pain Shop Pro. PSP used to have Animation Studio bundled too, but it was crap. Dunno about now.

    No its not rollovers, thanks for tip though.
    I just want simple images that change, no animation really, just something like the empire poker gid on the left hand side at www.poker.ie

    Whats wrong with Animation Studio? I thought it was fine. I suppose imageready and fireworks can also do them.

    I can't hit that poker site is it down or something?

    Cormie - if you are stuck PM me and I'll give you a hand. Its very simple to do.
