Here is where you have all your fingers and toes crossed because we are going to view our frames in Animation and see how it looks. Check the image below for the shortcut. This window should pop up and your globe will be animating in full view. You can either breathe a sigh of relief or now realize why we saved that original a while ago before duplicating and making 3 copies. Since I can hear you all breathing a sigh of relief, we will carry on to saving it. Go to the menu "File" and drag down and click on "Save as". This next window will appear asking you where you would like to save it and what you would like to call it. Remember it will be a gif file. This next screen that appears gives you an option at what level you want to save your animation. Level Four, as shown by the slider at the left, is your best level and the description tells you about what to expect. If your files are large or you are saving more than 3 frames, sometimes, you might find it better to save at level 3. I have saved our animation here at level 4. This screen is the one you will see in PSP6. The only difference in this whole process with PSP7 is that instead of seeing all the blue lines, you will see a picture preview screen with 2 images. When you click next, you have the last screen you will deal with. It gives you all the information about the size of your file and how long it will take to load depending on your modem speed. If you felt that file was too large, you would just click "back" to return you to the screen with the slider and move it down to Level 3. Just for your interest, I have pasted the results of what you would get at level 3 beside the results for level 4. You can decide whether the size or quality of the image is the most important thing for you. Sometimes I fluctuate to speed depending on why I am doing the animation. See the finished animation on the next page and a few instructions on skipping the background. BACK TO PAGE SIX          PAGE EIGHT MAIN TUTORIAL LIST This tutorial was posted at the site of "P.
