animate?
need hints on how to animate - not that I really want the cars to move, and not that moving cars on roads are invariably realistic, but its always amusing to increase pollution

How is it amusing to increase pollution?

I'm just wondering what it's meant to be...
Also, to animate, I recommend Macromedia Flash. MX should be pretty damn cheap on ebay these days, and it'll do what you want it to unless you have an intel mac.

Imageready ftw.
Flash is decent, but the end result tends to be an overly-large, over-optimised gif.

^this

With CS3, they come out pretty damn good I think
my animation below was only about 60k, in imageready I had to really fight it to get the filesize down...

Plus flash is easier to use, I think.

Flash is good if you're making an animation frame by frame.
With IR you can create all the layers in Photoshop, export it, and your gif is practically done.
I've never had a problem with filesize... Colour palettes and dither are your friends.

I'm confused

Are you saying that
if something doesn't look like goatse it confuses you?

How do you get through the day? Put a massive ring in front of your face?
