It’s fun and easy to do these weird little animation things I am always sticking in my posts. The only limit is your imagination…

This example is nothing extraordinary. I took a simple picture of some butterflies off Google, then made copies and used some of Photoshop’s filters on each of them.

Then, I opened Lunapics.com, a photo editing program that you can even use to do most of these effects and many others, and it is free to use.

To make the animations… after you complete the pictures… you just open one, then click the ‘add animation’ button in the edit menu. Then select the next picture. Remember to keep the pictures small… about 72 DPI and less than ten inches in the widest direction…

Save them to your downloads, and add them to posts as you do with any photos.

If you want some ideas, look in my sidebar… on the right, near the bottom… at the word cloud of categories called: ‘Stuff you might like’… one of the titles is called: ‘my weird moving pictures’, which I add all my little animations to when I post them.
