Can any one tell me an easy way to make an animated gif that just fades a picture in and out from a back ground color? I have GIMP, but I can not figure how to do this without creating each frame of the animation by hand. Not wanting to spend several hours a frame for 600 frames I thought I would ask the collective minds of F/OSS. Bryan O'Neal Cornerstone Homes & Development, Inc. 4220 E.
