As an example, we'll locate this spinning cube animation on a still image and discover several common problems you'll eventually face. I'll place the spinning cubes six images on the screen shot below.

To begin, we'll load seven images using the GifCon Wizard. The seven images are in this order,

Example1.gif, the image above.

01.gif	02.gif	03.gif	04.gif	05.gif	06.gif

Notice how the cubes background changed from white to a light gray? This was because the files 01.gif-06.gif and Example1.gif were using different palettes. When I loaded them into GifCon I selected the option to use the first images palette. It's never a good idea to make an animation with each image using it's own palette. Both palettes had a white, but not the same white. When the files palettes were merged only one white could be used, so the remaining images were forced to pick colors from the first images palette.

Before we start again, let's use PSP to make a single palette for all the images. Open all the images we're using in PSP, each in their own window is fine. Spread them out so they can all be seen. What your doing here is making a single image that contains all your images, so we can extract a single palette of colors that can be used to load into all your images. After following these steps all your images will be using the same palette.

1. While all the images are in view, press your keyboards Print Screen key. This will send a copy of your screen to the clipboard.
2. Now from the top of the PSP window, click Edit, Paste, As New Image.
3. Next click Colors, Decrease or Increase to a Color Depth of 256 Colors. Use the Optimized and Nearest Color radio buttons.
4. Again click on Colors, then on Save Palette. You can't save the palette for images using more than 256 colors.
5. Use the Save As window that opens to save the .pal palette file your making.
6. You can now close the pasted image we extracted the palette from. There isn't a reason to save it.
7. Click on one of the images you earlier spread on your screen to highlight it. Go up and click on Colors, then on Load Palette. Browse to the .pal file you created earlier and double click it. Save that image now that it's using the proper palette. Do this with all the images your planning to use in your animation.

In this example I needed to use Increase Color Depth on all the cube images because their palettes were only two colors in size. Each image should contain all the color imformation for all the images in the animation. If the Load palette option is grayed out for an image, be sure it's color depth is set to 256 colors.

That's a little better, but it has a blink when the first large image loads.
