# What did you do then?

# I used paintshop
applied some filters, cropped bits out, made layers, re-coloured them, applied effects - that sort of thing.

Whereas, on the box, I converted the filetype, removed every other frame, resized the frames, ran a couple of optimization processes - that sort of thing.

# Ok, fair do's
Let me start by saying I know absolutely bugger all about animation, but...

With the eyes, you've done arty type things to change the overall look of the image. With the box, you've not actually changed what the original file did: yes it may have fewer frames and be smaller, but the hour you put into it is probably nothing compared to how long it took the original author to have the idea and execute it.

# Eyes above was inside an existing thread (but from what you said it would have been OK as a new thread)
If the box had been inside a thread , it would be OK especially as you aknowledged it wasn't your own
But there was insufficent of your own creative input to warrant it starting a new thread

# Aha!
That's a different matter entirely - thanks for that. I hope that's the fact, because the other reasons seem completely daft to me.

(Sorry Mrs Trellis, not meaning to offend - but if you look at the logic; think of the team of people and effort that went into creating the photo I used - whereas the box is a geometric shape that anyone can calculate; it's not significantly different from drawing a circle.

And..well, lots of other stuff, but I guess we have to agree to disagree.

It all depends what you call art.



Oh - I suppose I could bung my box back in somewhere then? But I'd rather put it in a thread nearer the top or something...but will that incur further wrath?
