Banner makers don't fade photos. You have to use a full-featured graphics editor like Fireworks, Photoshop, Image Impact or Paint Shop Pro.

You totally misunderstood my message. I simply tried to let him know that banner maker programs don't have the capability to fade images and that he would have to use a full-featured graphics editor to do that. What is so harsh about that advice? I had no intention of criticizing him.

I was only joking ... you know hahahaha...

Any way - I didn't know banner writers couldnt fade images...
Thankx for that

Are you Talking about the Ad Banner or the Title?

The Ad Banner would have used Jasc Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop for the Gif, and Macromedia Flash 6 for the shoot game Ad.

The title would also have been done in Jasc Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop, but to make them as good as that final fantasy page, you need to know what your doing otherwise you have no chance at making them look that good. Try and find some tutorials on the net or buy a book to learn how to use the software.
