In design 2, there is a very stupid bug, where if you have a shape covering the whole canvas with a stroke, then when exporting the image exported is larger than the one specified. This has to be fixed by decreasing the shape size, and becomes a very lengthy process, becuase you have to keep testing if its exported correctly. Also one really useful tool that design 3 could have is the magic wand, I cannot live without it, and it requires me to have other applications to be used, which is very annoying, having to use multiple applications for a single image.© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

I would like to see a .GIF animation creator since I've had people like my work and then say stuff like &quot;That's really good, but could you make her blink?&quot; and I can't so I end up loosing the person, and that's another week of my life I can't get back.Sat, 27 Jun 2009 14:10:37 Z2009-06-27T14:10:37Zhttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/design/thread/49d9bf9b-362d-4ec1-8c1f-a341ed6e5f6b#c9ecc322-50f3-4cb1-8169-4a2dbcc70f4bhttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/design/thread/49d9bf9b-362d-4ec1-8c1f-a341ed6e5f6b#c9ecc322-50f3-4cb1-8169-4a2dbcc70f4bBBBhttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=BBBMagic wand? <div>Combined bitmap-vector applications?</div> <div>With animated GIF functionality?</div> <div><br/></div> <div>Well, ... that sounds just like Adobe Fireworks to me.</div> <div><br/></div> <div>ED can be used to create stills that are exported then glued together to make an animated gif.</div> <div><br/></div> <div>It is doable if possibly time consuming when compared to fireworks.</div> <div><br/></div> <div>Most of these were created using some of ED's forebears.</div> <div><br/></div> <div>http://www.deebs.me.uk/web-content/I/1/Samples/NG25/ng25.html</div> <div><br/></div> <div><br/></div> <a href="http://www.deebs.me.uk/web-content/I/1/Samples/NG25/ng25.html"> lazy link here</a>Sat, 27 Jun 2009 22:28:37 Z2009-06-27T22:49:45Zhttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/design/thread/49d9bf9b-362d-4ec1-8c1f-a341ed6e5f6b#31b162b3-1f6b-431b-b625-5149088a12d8http://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/design/thread/49d9bf9b-362d-4ec1-8c1f-a341ed6e5f6b#31b162b3-1f6b-431b-b625-5149088a12d8BBBhttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=BBBHere you are Edward M. <div><br/></div> <div>It is an old (as in quite dated) walkthrough and the principles should be the same in ED.</div> <div><br/></div> <div>By design the walkthrough is aimed at low cost so involves applications such as IrfanView and The Gimp.</div> <div><br/></div> <div>(The Gimp seems to have progressed a couple of versions)</div> <div><br/></div> <div><br/></div> <a href="http://ffmomw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pekDt967tqeBsN0-7t16t4BWxYCEAAlJcIWi95ztPfdNwWh73MSHy98c8wQzRuo74juSQZEOZsL0sUvKk9icNSP4AoV9rcY3n/090627 Making moving images2.pdf"> really lazy link (the URL is quite long really) </a> <div><br/></div> <div>The link downloads a pdf file.</div>Sat, 27 Jun 2009 23:24:54 Z2009-06-27T23:26:11Zhttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/design/thread/49d9bf9b-362d-4ec1-8c1f-a341ed6e5f6b#693aaa44-6483-406a-bfbb-29b2021b94e2http://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/design/thread/49d9bf9b-362d-4ec1-8c1f-a341ed6e5f6b#693aaa44-6483-406a-bfbb-29b2021b94e2dmaxonlinehttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=dmaxonlineFor design 2 and design 3 I used the tool which is really awesome.<br/> http://www.dmaxonline.comTue, 30 Jun 2009 09:02:37 Z2009-06-30T09:02:37Zhttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/design/thread/49d9bf9b-362d-4ec1-8c1f-a341ed6e5f6b#6d194f0b-433f-4b29-b61b-f059eaea42e1http://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/design/thread/49d9bf9b-362d-4ec1-8c1f-a341ed6e5f6b#6d194f0b-433f-4b29-b61b-f059eaea42e1dmaxonlinehttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=dmaxonline<blockquote>For design 2 and design 3 I used the tool which is really awesome.<br/> http://www.dmaxonline.com</blockquote> <br/> &quot; design with the maximum creativity &quot;<br/>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 09:03:29 Z2009-06-30T09:03:29Z
