So, as many of ye know, Rainbow Dash GIFs are kinda my thing. When ever I decide it's time for change, I usually make a new gif for my avatar, Print Screening shots from an episode or creating the frames by simply editing, sticking them in a folder on my memory card and taking it to school to pop into Fireworks and create an animated gif out of. See, I don't have Fireworks, Photoshop or anything like that at home, so I stick the images together using the school's programs.
I've ran into a problem right now, however, 'cos the school's shut down for the Summer holidays, and I'm, unfortunately, left with no means of creating my new animated avatar. And if it's not been animated, I'm not able to use it! XP
So, I've a little favour I'd like to ask of somebody... Well, one of two things, actually, either one would be really really helpful!

-Can Somebody Pwease send me a link to a good, free program with which I can string my frames together? Because my connection sucks, I wont be able to download any more than... 40mb...
Yeah.

-Could somebody with access to a program capable of animating, such as fireworks, with knowledge of how to go about it, please string the frames together for me? I'll email you the images, there's 9 of 'em!


I always feel a little dumb asking favours with such things, but... I'd be oh so grateful if somebody could please help me out! Pweeze?

    This proves that I need to advertise my .gif request thread a bit more. :sigh:

    I use GIMP2 to make my gif images. Stringing together 9 pictures should be easy.

    ^ I can read yooooou...

    Did you try changing font color?

    It just comes up as white as default...
    That'd probably work, but I'm a lazy soul, I can't do that every dang time...

    let's see...

    ^Ooh, that works!

    I can link you to the site I got my version of Photoshop CS6 portable from, file is 92.8 though so it's probably not gonna be something you can download til your download limit resets; If your interested, just send me a PM and I'll give you the link to the website :p

    Theme = Fixed! XD
    And Pseado, I've got a terrible connecton... If I were to download that, it'd possibly mean I'd have to not visit Everypony for a whole day.

    And I don't think I can deal with that sort of torture. XD

    Could I please have the link though, in case I'm going out anyway?

    Sure, I'll send the link your way, and even on a 56k connection (dial-up) 92.8mb should only take maybe 2 hours max. I know that back when my connection was that slow, a 800mb game took me a little over 4 hrs.
