you will also need to make a new folder im calling mines nukkie!.

ok first you will need to try it out by your self to make it look better after we are done because im only going to show you the basics on this this.

1. what ever pic or sig your are going to use it has to be saved as JPG, so go ahead and save it as JPG.

2. Now open what ever you are going to use in Squirlz.( thats the program)





3. Highlight where you want the reflection using this tool.( i think you have to Right click when you have selected what you want)

click on that:

4. mine after i highlighted.





5. Now click on this button.

this:

6. Use these Settings( or you can do whatever u want:p)

this:



7. After you have the settings just close that settings window i think, even though you might now see it its still there dont worry.


8. Now save it in the new folder that i said to make.( after you click SAVE another window will pop up click on JPG and then ok) ( sexy isnt it? )



9. Now open the first pic in gimp it should be in your new folder there should be 19 pics in the new folder that you made cause thats where you saved it when you were in Squirlz.

10. After you open the first one, open the second one using the OPEN AS LAYER tool, File>Open as layer.( they should be numbered already)




11. Now go to the Layers Dialogue and it should look like this




12. Now just Go to Filters>Animation>Optimize for gif.

13. save it as gif and as animation and that should be it

if its moving too fast change the mms to 150

( just cause my result is gay that doesnt mean yours will, i just did mine really quick cause of time, so just play around with it and experiment and im sure it will come out good)

heres what i got!
