I don't have any graphics editing programs which allow me to resize the Gif I have into 64 x 64 without removing its animation properties.

This is the original image:

...if someone could please download that, edit it into 64 x 64 for me, then upload it to the server again, then I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance for the help!

Damn thing will only make the first frame 64 x 64. Stupid.

Hi there,

Here is the resized version. To maintain the aspect ratio it is resized down to 64x47 not 64x64. Inter-frame delay is 0.1 s except for the first frame which has a 1 s delay.

It is the usual trend with all simple image viewer/editor software (not for giants like Photoshop/ImageReady, but then they're expensive) that they don't edit all of the frames of an animated GIF (GIF89a) or a multi-page JPEG or TIFF. They also don't save any multi-page formats although they always save GIF89a single-page despite the fact that GIF89a was designed to offer small bandwidth-affordable animations on the web. It was made to be multi-page. This way you have to buy a GIF Animator, too, something like Microsoft GIF Animator or Ulead GIF Animator. That's a dirty trick. Even ACDSee PowerPack Suite (which must have much power) plays this trick on its customers.

i attached the file, could you not see it?


btw, its is 64x64 like you asked for; i considered doing what Manuel_Silvio did, but i suppose now you have a selection.
 
actually, funny enough, I couldn't see either of the attachments before. Now I can see both.

Strange. Meh. Whatever. Happy now, and thanks heaps.

...now to see which proportion looks better...

ya, it didn't show up for me either when i posted actually. but i edited/deleted my post 3 times and each time the edit page said the attachment was there i just assumed it was because i was the one who posted it so obviously i don't need it. but it shows now, odd stuff.

it seems immage posteings are working too now, i tried the other day and it just made a link instead.
