Hehe, ya, this took me a long time to learn. Not to mention that I don't have any college/school or training for any of this stuff.....including photography which is weird in itself because I'm a professional photographer
War produces veterans, wounded both physically and mentally. They have sacrificed for us.....and it is now our job to help these veterans, as they have already helped us in ways we will never know, in ways that we cannot fathom, and in ways that we take granted every day.

Stevealmighty,
I agree whole-heartedly.
I am a Printer by background, it's heavy in photography.
Learning the digital equivelant to either photography or "page makeup" is time consuming.
Approaching it with college, or computer science/IT fundamentals taught in HS,
and doing as a "relearning drill" rather than 'right from the start' will add
additional time into the 'learning curve'.
I say that to apologize for my own 'snail's pace' at becoming "conversant" in regards
to the graphics/animation/video production capabilities & 'nuts & bolts operation'.
Good job at taking a stab at a mini-tutorial explanation/answer.
Thanks.
I agree whole-heartedly.

Allo Folks ,
Sorry to revive an old thread but I weren't here then ...
A quick explanation about .gif files etc... A gif file only saves the colours used in the picture as a palette of 256 colours (or 255 colours and 1 transparent), a jpg files saves millions of colours..
Gif palettes can be 'optimised' so they just have the required colours for an close/exact match and still give good results. This makes them perfect for limited colour pics like smileys, animated cartoons etc., anything that has blocks of colours. A jpg file maps every individual pixel as 256 shades of 256 colours, this will give near perfect results for photos (jpg compression reduces the filesize down, but that's another process entirely).
A photo saved as a 'gif file can often look 'banded' or 'contour mapped' if the photo contains more than 256 shades of any colour.
The result is: Photos as jpg's, 'cartoon' style graphics as .gif's
Hope you find this useful
