Re: [guide-user] Animation by Guide

Hello all,

if you have single graphic-files generated automatically by Guide then
one can use the share ware program IrfanView32. This has the
possibility to crop, change size, change graphic format and image
processing features in one batch run. I love this small program.
You can find it at: http://www.irfanview.com/
