(Keep in mind I am a total GIF-making n00b and have been at it maybe 4 months total.)
GIF Brewery is my favorite GIF-making App for the Mac, and I use graphic converter for fine-tuning. With GIF brewery you can make movie files directly into GIFs, so all you need is a a program to shorten your movies to workable sections beforehand
Okay that wasn't a tutorial but app suggestions at any rate ; )
Seems everyone has their particular favourite that just works for them...
Have a look around Tumblr, I've followed quite a few pretty gifs back to their original poster and seen side bar links to tutorials, most I've seen are in Photoshop. I can't help with that as I don't have Photoshop - one of the best things I think with Photoshop is the 'input to layers' option, only time I've ever tried a gif I've had to screencap each frame and then import each one and that takes forever!
The program I've downloaded seems to be working ok. Now I'm just playing with the quality. This reminds me of when I started vidding and trying out a gazzillion different codecs to see which one would give me the smallest file with the highest quality.
Photoshop would be the most flexible and I reeeeaaaally have to get with the program. No matter how many times I use it I keep forgetting what I have to do to make stuff work!
