It is said that you have to buy it in order to make gifs and such. Is that true?

I don't know but I just use the snipping tool on accessories for windows 7 or take a screenshot of the file then i save that picture as a gif and it works

I have a problem, how do you make your image transparent? I've clicked the enable transparent box but when you save it, it goes back with a white background.

I need help you say i accidently deleted the frames by pressing the close button on it and basicly all the other stuff and then i crossed out the place where you get different colors uh how do i get all these back because i cant create stuff without the color pad!

I believe if you go into 'View' in the top of the window, at the bottom of the drop down menu, you can select which windows you would like to show, play around with which ones are active and not, you should be able to get those ones back, if Im reading your post correctly, it was a little confusing to me.

if i have Adobe Photoshop CS5, registred,

is it better than this?

@Vortaix95

It definitely depends on what you want to do with the program. If you are editing photos, photoshop definitely provides ease of use and many easy to apply editing methods. For pixel art, I think that graphics gale takes the cake simply because of the zoomed up grid function. You can select individual pixels no matter the resolution of the image. Complex image editing and creation is far simpler for basic users in photoshop however.

Ha ha. Youtube is at war with my computer too. I can't edit my profile! Grr. That's why I'm going to a friends house soon. Anyway, I can't wait to check out more of your stuff!

Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it! I have been pretty busy with real life matters (work/school/etc) and havent been able to make any other series. Hopefully soon I will make another software related series, let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions on a topic you would like to see!

[Epythymy]

This was interesting and I'll probably be using this as I figure out how to use this program. You seem so normal and I appreciate you making this. :)

Thanks! Yeah its a pretty impressive program. Extremely lightweight which plays a part if your tight on space. Ill be making more videos as long as you guys want them! YouTube is at war with my computer right now and is refusing to let me upload videos correctly. I have 2 tutorials ready to upload now once I figure this out. Thanks!
