I've just got an idea... [hey don't laff] If you made some pictures with the photoshop-ripple effect in various phases and THEN assembled the prictures in for example Animation Shop (comes with Paint Shop Pro), you would get an animated gif in the end. With no need to buy extra software. And PSP can be downloaded in a free trial version with a fully functional Animation Shop :o)
