Nancy, I like that a lot. It's such a subtle and unusual animation. How did you create that affect?
- Hi Susan, the image is a stock photo. I imported the image into a tool called photoMirage and used it to do the animation. I then exported the image as a gif.
- Thanks, Nancy! I will definitely check out PhotoMirage.
- After looking up PhotoMirage, I realized that I had similar software called PicAnimate which I purchased a few years ago that is installable on Windows.
Plus I would refer people to check out this free website, Lunapic.com, which offers a variety of web-based photo editing as well as a selection of pre-built animations - some of which are pretty cheezy. But I like the Reflecting Water animation.
And there is also a mobile app called Plotagraph that works in a similar way - adding pseudo animation to static images. I believe it has a free version and a paid pro version.
