I\'ve wanted to make animations and comics with backgrounds recently, but I don\'t know how to make them without painstaking effort that would cause me to take about ten minutes extra time to make each frame. The problem is the white or other color around a sprite that comes from the original sprite sheet. The programs I have to use are as follows: Paint, Corel Photo House (or something like that), PhotoSuite III, and Microsoft Picture It!. Does anyone know how to fix this easily?

P.S. If anyone can tell me where I can get a lot of bakcgrounds, preferably MMBN, I would be very grateful.

For the painstaking part, get over it. Unless you want good quality, you\'ll have to go through the painstaking part. As for the white around the sprite, just select it transparency.


I was nice, I\'m going soft.

If you want to make it real easy on you without pain, hire someone to do them. Otherwise you\'ll have a bit of thought pain no matter what you do, unless you\'re born for it. As animations go, \"Flash\" is good for animating comics or just regular animations, and \"The Gimp\" is good for regular animations that I know of. I don\'t know much about those other animation progs out there. However, you can\'t really make transparent animations in flash.

Thanks. Now, can someone tell me where I can find some backgrounds? Right now I\'m limited to a battle field, DNN station, and what I can make.
