Thnx LIN, Had to think about it a while, but I thought that kinda fit our custom site.
LiLbRo, As I said, I was just fooling around with my banner maker pro, and that was just a first pass attempt at an idea.
Thnx Lin, Was playing around with Bannermaker Pro again yesterday. I'm just tryin out a new one from time to time. I have this one with window blinds opening it up too, but it goes to something like 28 colors because of all the frames.... it looks interesting with colors kind of washed out. I like the star effect yours has too, with the double pics.
Oh, And the AV is a keltic dragonhawk I found on the net somewhere and sized it.
It's when the picture is jpeg and the bannermaker changes it to gif. It cuts the color down to 256 from millions in jpeg. Here's what the site says about it.....
I added an image to my banner, but when I saved it as a .gif file, the image looks washed-out.
This can happen because gifs are limited to 256 colors. The process of converting a .jpeg image which can contain millions of colors to a .gif file can cause the image to look bad. To minimize these conversion problems, try these steps:
Use a plain background on the banner.
Crop as much of the image as possible, try to remove any background colors.
Use fewer frames by increasing the step value on the one step animation, if animating the image.
Try using non anti-aliased text (check box on the Text+ tab) or text on the Angles tab. Anti-aliased text has shading between the background and letters and this can increase the number of colors.
No prob LIN, I'm having fun playing with the program. Here's one in pixelate form. It actually drops the pixels in and looks like painting. Still set on only 5 loops.

i like that, Hawk.

the colors become more muted the faster the looping? is that how it works?
