That's a little tricky. Like VERY tricky.
Why don't you stack them using PS? That's what I do. And it's relatively easier. 😉

Non-Animated avis stacking is easy.

You open ALL the icons that you want to stack in CS5 or whatever program you are using.
Then for example: I want to stack 3 Icons horizontally.
Go to File>New>Put the measurements to what your document would be like.
From my example above, the measurements would be 300 width and 100 height.

So, now your new document is open. Then you select the first icon that you want to place. Go to your 1st Icon then click on the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" it's usually the second one in your tools palette. Then you select your entire Icon and go to Edit>Copy and then go to your new Documents tab and go to Edit>Paste.

And your first Icon should appear on the new document that you will stack all your icons on. Do this for the other icons and once you're done. Go to File>Save As> JPEG.

AND you're done. 😊

As for the Animated Sig is concerned. Here are two pictures that should help you.

You should have Animation Shop 3 for this btw.

Step 1: Open the Sig you want to use for the animated sig. And copy-paste the frames as many times as the frames of your GIF are.



Step 2: Once that is done, then you copy the GIF's framees by selecting all and then copying them and pasting them on the SIGNATURE.



Once you're done with this then just View your Animation and save it. 😃


Hope I helped.

Hey!

I want to know how do we make a siggy using multiple images? Blending 2-3 images is okay with me, but more than that I become clueless regarding the blending. I've been asking this question to many of my friends since long, tried searching previous tutorial threads too but cudn't find anything specific about it.

Please let me know. It will be really nice of you.

Thanks :)

I don't know which software you use and you didn't mention it. So, I'll tell you how I do it. 😉
It's called stacking. 😃

First, you will have to make sure that both the Animations have the same amount of frames and size (width and height.) If not, you can download Animation Shop 3 and "Cull" your frames. It's easier to play around with that, and I recommend it to literally everyone that wants to learn how to stack. 😉

Once you're done with that then follow this video and stack away in Photoshop CS3/CS4/CS5, it helps a lot.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLYjVEn0y7w
If you miss out on a step in the video, then look at the description. The steps are written there in detail. 😃
