Making A .GIF File
In this project we will use our Google Chromebooks to capture a set of images. We will then open the images in Pixlr to edit in effects. Once the effects are done we will be importing our edited images into a .GIF creator to turn a group of still images into one animated set that can flawlessly loop forever.
Project Goals
