User blog:The Ranger Malvegil/ImageUtil: Scale images and create GIF's

Some time ago I asked in this thread, whether a tool which helps to scale images and create GIF-animations would be useful. A user (GandalftheTurquoise) said, that something like this would be "much more efficient". So I announce ImageUtil, a tool which can scale images and create GIF-animations in an easy way. It is divided in three "modules":

With the first module, you can scale images to a speficied size or by a factor.

The second module helps you, to create GIF-animations: You also can specify the delay between the images and whether the animation should loop continuously.

The third module, the "Wiki-Module", allows you to scale images and "combine" them to a GIF-animation with one single (and very simple) GUI. See blow for more informations.

In you are interested in this tool: Download is here.

'''IMPORTANT: ImageUtil does require Java 8 (Download ). '''

'''If you have suggestions, questions, criticism or you want to report a crash/bug you have found, please do this. You can write a comment, leave a message on my message-wall [...].
