Acclaimed Web Tool Offers Powerful Features
for Creating Animated GIFs

The Multimedia and Imaging Gurus at Skyline Tools proudly announce the release of Gif Shaker 1.0, the company's first stand-alone application for Internet development. Building on the solid foundation of their award-winning ImageLib products, Gif Shaker showcases Skyline Tools' imaging expertise with a feature-rich development environment that speeds the creation of animated GIFs for the World Wide Web.

Using Gif Shaker, web designers can create, open, save, scan, and edit 256 color images with a powerful built-in visual editor -- giving them unprecedented control over their web animations. And with Gif Shaker's time-saving collection of 34 plug-n-play filters, web designers will now be able to effortlessly add professional special effects to their animated GIFs -- right out of the box.

Inside Gif Shaker's Animated GIF Editor, web designers will be pleased to find a full-featured development workshop, complete with Crop, Resize, and Rotate tools, extensive Color Management options, a quick-access Frames List, Loop control, Transparency and Background Color options, Frame Disposal methods, and pixel-perfect Frame Positioning. There is even a special text tool that allows text to be written on top of selected frames.

Not only can Gif Shaker directly acquire scanned images from twain-compliant devices (such as scanners and digital cameras), but Gif Shaker also features the ability to auto-build GIF sequences from live video feeds (video capture hardware required) and AVI movie files.

To speed the development process, Gif Shaker also enables web designers to playback their animated GIF creations directly within the editor. No more unnecessary toggling between imaging tools and web browsers to preview works-in-progress.
