Guys conveyor belt type of image slideshow attract more users and it is easy in javascript...

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...rightslide.htm


But in forum board, javascript is not allowed(Even html code is not allowed in phpbb...lol ) so i planned to create a tutorial, but in Gif...

Advantage:
You can use in forum...
Make attractive screenshots..
No need of coding..

Disadvantage:
**It's actually gif so we can point url to one link...(but if you created using javascript means...Yes you can place each link for each image seperately..)

**size matters, it's different than simple gif..Yes if we altered the frames/sec means..size will also increase(5 times of original, explained in example)

**Need Interest....

**Not smooth like javascript..but need skill( i am developing...)

**All the images must be in same size


Resulting Image:





Small algorithm(for newbie):

X,Y,Z are three images...

Y - first image
X - second image
Z - third image

(for convenience, i taken Y as first)

Eg: All the images are in same size..i have taken the image with 124 x 167

So width of the image is 124....crop in to two equal parts, so it becomes 2 images(first half and second half)

croping is easy, (i used the Microsoft office picture manager)



X1 - first half of X , X2 - second half of X
Y1 - first half of Y , Y2 - second half of Y
Z1 - first half of Z , Z2 - second half of Z

original width of image X is 124, but after cropping it becomes
(x1 -width:62)
(x2 -width:62)

After croping, use ulead to merge in following algorithm



X2, Y, Z1 - combined image1(x2 is second half of x, x is original, z1 is first half of z - maintain a gap of width 62)
Z2, X, Y1 - combined image2
Y2, Z, X1 - combined image3

Remembering is easy(diagonal is always X)

Now combined 3 images are created...

Use photoscape
- click animated gif,
-then put combined images 1,2,3 in order
-change effect to "slide to left"
- set time to 0.35 sec

Save....
Thats all ..Enjoy it...

Softwares Used:
Ulead gif creator(for combing)
photoscape(for adding left/right moving effect/slide show)
Microsoft office picture manager(for one click crop..easy)

Note:
It's may be funny or foolish for you, but it takes me nearly 4 hours to learn this...20 minutes to create my first slideshow...Now i can create within 5 min

It may attract downloaders in first view...because first impression is the best.....lol

Thanks for reading this long theory guys..
