GraphicsGale. Google it. I believe you need the full version for gif making. But it is very usefull, and very simple, with a simple interface like mspaint.
If you don't have the money to buy it, pm me and ill find you a crack for it (which will take you like 2 seconds to run and then you got the full version)
I think you can't save gifs, you can make them but not save them yeah, I recomend Graphic Gale, I use it to make all.. It has layers Function something nor commont in animations program.
Sure you can, you just had the free version. With the full version you can do whatever you please, and there is a 30-day free trial period, then you gotta pay like $10.00 to buy it, or be a loser like me and just go to any crack site and grab a keygen, input it, and have unlimited access to the program.
It's actually really good for a lot of things, even if you only plan to make GIF's with it. It has a lot of the basic features of photoshop, like layers, custom brushes, custom pallets, etc. Plus the animator built into it is unmatched for animating sprites and such. With its "onion skin" function, it allows you to see a semi transperant image of the previous frame in you're current frame, so you can aline the images nicely.

Then go to download, and select the 30-day free trial on the right side. Even if you choose not to buy it, and not to crack it (which takes like 2 minutes) you can still use it for 30 days.
