Grab bag

I have new stuff up, in the ever changing Grab bag

If anyone knows of an application to convert jpgs to animation, I've been doing stop motion of blooming orchids (and discovering that Nikon didn't make it easy to make that little trick work. It's built in, but the interface is not as easy as the rest of the menu banks).

batch processing to format change is easy

I think most of the photoedit programs, not just photoshop, come with a built-in macro, but it's easy enough to set one up with the prefab macro menus.

The one BIG worry about doing batch processing: you have to make sure you set up correctly to go into another folder. Otherwise, it's way too easy to save over your originals after you've, say, shrunk them down to thumbnails, frex.

But for doing animation at the quantities you want to do you're probably better off buying a gif animation program or some kind of slideshow software, if you can afford the $50, from what it sounds like. I know a lot of people use the Ulead software and seem to find it okay, but i haven't used it myself.
