350 megs is a very large image. So it's not surprising that you are
running out of memory and scratch space.

Make the image smaller. Unless you are using a view camera with a scanning
back, or a composite image made up of a dozen or so smaller images, your
image is larger than you need it to be.

Any idea.. about 'no results'?
It means it was a failure.

It installs OK but I can only see the "precision view" for pointers/cursors.
Is there some other Elements (or Vista) setting I'm missing here?

Thanks

In later versions of Elements, the setting is under

Elements 2.0.

My question is about animated GIFs, so let's start with this:

- Are there "animated PNGs", "animated JPEGs", or TIFFs, or animated
anything else?

Notice that I am not talking about programming technologies such as
flash, etc.

The specific project that I have is a demo program that processes some
stages and when it is done with each, it places either a green check
mark or a red X (with obvious meaning) next to the individual items.

I simply sent a green check mark and a red X to the programmer, would
like the demo to look spiffier. Now I would like to see the check mark
being drawn, i.e., animated. I don't suppose the programmer has to be
concerned or involved, right? I should simply send him an animated
file and tell him: "here is the new green check mark".

What about the repetitive cycle? Is there some internal flag in
animated GIFs (or animated anything) that says: "you should cycle
forever" or "one cycle, and then you stop" (this is my preferred
behavior for this application).

Should I forget about animated GIFs and use something else?

Your answers and comments are most welcome.

TIA,

-Ramon
