Onion Skin

One thing about photos taken with 3d cameras that annoys me is that when you compile them into a flickering GIF as they come (no cropping or aligning), the main subject of your photo often isn't the center of rotation (let's call it C.O.R.). And as a matter of fact it should be - to keep the viewer's attention on the subject. To achieve this, after isolating each of four photos from the scan, I imported them into Adobe Flash (each into a separate frame on the timeline) and then aligned using Onion Skin option (one of the small buttons in the bottom part of the timeline window) so that the chosen main subject remained in the same place. After cropping and saving as separate JPGs I used GIF Animator (Mac) with 0.1 sec delay to compile an animated GIF. Enjoy the effect!
