July 14th NLC image/animation

*Agrees with above posters* Wow Al, that is a very nice piece of work! You have really captured the moment in that display Hats off to you!

As to your jpegs versus gifs... well, I don't think you have much of a choice. You could scour the net to see if such a jpeg 'compiler' exists, but as you can see from here, you have lost some picture quality because of jpeg compression for internet-firendly file size. If you go down the route of a gif animation, then you will have a smaller file but better preserved quality.

Great stuff!

Seanie.

It is a gif

The problem using gifs though is that you can only have 256 colours, so its not compression that makes the image look bad, its the dithering to only use 256 colours.

Perhaps a small MPEG movie would have been a smaller and better option?

So back to my question, "Anyone know a better (& easy!) way to make a movie out of jpg's other than going to animated gif?"

Yup, but you won't like it. Load the images into iMovie, save, Done. Mac only solution though.

After reading up a bit I think imagemagick can do it easily enough on unix.
