resizing animated gifs

[Mike]

I tried almost everything, but it just won't work. I need to make banners,
tried it in frontpage and it's components, uses Xara webstyle etc.
I do like Xara, but unfortunaly it does not let me make the sizes I want, it
keeps the proportions.
Than I made it in Xara and tried resizing with other programs, but that just
makes my banner look awfull.
How do you guys (and dames) resize gifs, without losing it's quality? I am
talking about animated ones.

Thanx in advance!

Mike,
Unfortunately I would tend to do this frame by frame, not so much
re-sizing, but changing my canvas or document size, then going and re-doing
the frames to match. When re-doing the frames I'll have to tweak the
individual items as simply re-sizing doesn't necessarily work (item 1 may
look good re-sized the same as everything else, but item 2 may not and I'll
need to find somehting more appropriate).

Hope this helps,

You have to edit each frame of animated gif. Its a real pain. It's probably easier to start over.

Keep in mind editing a gif of any kind will degrade the image quality. Turning an image into a gif or a jpg is the last thing you do in the process. I tend to work in tiff or psd files and then when I'm happy with the image I'll convert it to gif or jpg.

probably you'd have to get a program you can break down the image frame by frame
and resize them individually then re-constitute them into the animation.

Paint Shop Pro... With it comes Animation Shop. You can resize in less
than 5 clicks...
