Okay, thanks Nick-kun!!

Yeah, i've wanted to know how people especially from NF, were taking a panel out of a manga page, coloring/fill in the manga character, and resizing the image to make cool sets and also gifs from anime videos.
The Gimp is an excellent sub for Photoshop.
But I'm sure if you ask around, people will point you to free software that can help you make gifs. Animated gifs are pretty tough to make though.
I'll probably get back into the habit once I buy my new laptop.
