Problem with my gif drop shadow banner
Hello Christina,
You can use an application called GIF animator to create the GIF banner with a drop shadow as follows:
-
First you will need to launch Bannershop GIF Animator and then choose "Blank animation" from the startup screen.
-
After that you will need to select "Text tool", and then click in the design window.
-
You will need to type the text "Drop Shadow" and after that click "Font" to change the font.
-
And then click OK to create the text.
-
After that you will right-click the text and select "Text Color".
-
And then change text color and click OK.
-
You will need to select "Image" > "3D Filter" > "Drop Shadow".
-
After that select "Bitmap tool",and then click and drag to draw a new bitmap layer.
-
You will then choose "Bucket Fill" tool, and then change current foreground color to black.
-
After that, click with the bucket cursor inside the new bitmap layer to fill it with black color, and then select "Text tool", and then click inside the black rectangle and type the text "Glow", click OK.
-
You can then choose "Image" > "3D Filter" > "Glow".
-
If you need to leave default options, click OK.
Regards,
Carl
