I've collected gifs for years too. Yeah, when did they start being called snags? ha. Ok no matter I love them. I used to collect audio soundwavs and soundbytes, lines from movies, tv shows, cartoons. Always a riot when sent with an email; but when I got a new PC, I never got around to extracting the sound wav folder from my old PC. It's still out in the garage. Now you have to pay for many of the sound wavs I had collected.

Hello Carol, if you have only used the programme twice, and produced such beautiful results, you have done really well. I think this programme is easier to use and produces better results. I have spoken to the company re: not being able to use the objects and music in Gif files, they inform me they are working on it. For the sound effects you need to use PCM format, they say you can use sound recorder to convert (whatever that is). I downloaded a free trial of the Switch converter programme, used it and it worked. Hazel

Photobucket and Tinypic are web hosting sites specifically for photos and videos. They provide the coding for inserting the photos/videos into various other web sites like the KT, blogs, etc. So, no, it's not "stealing bandwidth" from them - it's using them as they intend to be used. If you have a Photobucket account you see plenty of ads when you're in your free albums. If you have a paid-for Photobucket account, it's free of advertisements. You see plenty of ads when you're using Tinypic (see the third screen shot, above), too. Or are you asking if I'm "stealing bandwidth" when I create instructional documents at work? If so, please rest assured that I use no web hosting sites for my screen shots used in my instructional documents. I have a fully licensed copy of FullShot on my computer at work (and I have personally purchased a license for FullShot for my home computer, too, because I sometimes work from home and I use FullShot when I'm doing genealogy research and other stuff). I use FullShot to create the screen shots that I use in my instructional documents, and I simply save them (at home) to an appropriate folder and at work I save them to my space on a network drive. I work for the IT division and am a webmaster for the IT division's Intranet pages. In other words, I'm doing what I am paid to do.
