I have a square photo of a wheel which is saved at 320 x 320 as a transparent gif.

I wanted to save this wheel in 30 degree increments to use in a gif animator. Each time I rotated this photo 30 degrees, the canvas kept getting larger and larger and by the time I was at 240 degrees the canvas was overr 15 inches.

When I animated the first 8 or 9 photos, the effect was just what I wanted but I was unable to continue because of the size.

Rather than spend the rest of my life adjusting each file, I thought I would take advantage of the experts in this news group.

How should I have saved these?

TIA, GWB
