how can I make an animated avatar, for free?

hello oh knowledgeable ones please can someone tell me how I can make an animated avatar out of some photos I've got. I know shrinkpictures is free - are there any alternatives to this? And what is the next step?

Thanks

GIMP is free and can make animations.

Re: how can I make an animated avatar, for free?

I just made this in about 5 minutes - It's very simple, but I've only had GIMP installed for about 10 minutes.

Re: how can I make an animated avatar, for free?

Sorry about that, I was just showing you GIMP can do it, although it's not that easy.

I highly recommend reading the manual first. If you're familiar with Photoshop then it's not that difficult, if not you could be struggling.
