* How To Animate Your PS Shit *

It's simple.

All you need to remember and figure out.. is that every layer will be one single frame.

So basically get a layer for each part of the animation.

When you've done that.. switch to Imageready.. by clicking the bottom symbol thing in the toolbar.

When in Imageready.. bring up the Animation pallette.. by clicking 'Window' then Animation.

It might already be up.. but incase it's not.. do that.

Now on the AP you've got that little blue arrow for more options yeah?

Click that.. then choose 'make all layers into frames' or whateva.

You'll see the frames build up.. and from the animation pallette you can change the time each one takes/stays there.

To save it as a gif.. just go to file then click 'Save optimized As'

Thats the basic knowhow.. just make a few layers of bullshit.. and see that it works.

Then just use your head and plan out your animation.

Once you've done it once it's gets easy.

:thumbup:

Now someone tell me something cool!

Trick of the trade eh?

That gradient effect or some shit.. tell me how to make dope backgrounds.

i can......its VERY SIMPLE
i dont do it like everyone else, i dont think
but i just use the gradient tool with the RAINBOW
it has to be transparent on both sides in order to make the lines
but once you do that
i just click and click and make a bunch of lines
and then use a filter to convert the colors......

i can make you one if you want......

What about those backgrounds like Bin Hide In makes.. the kinda grungy look.

A bit like this.

i have no idea
im still trying to figure that out

did u make that bground?

Nope.

Altho I have the brushes and shit to do it.. just ain't figured it out.

Explain how to make those ones you do man.. step by step like.

new sig from ur tut.

Rofl.. dope.

Easy eh?

I'm too good to you all.

i did it the hard way :D
urs is easier.

This should be stickied.. or put in tutorials.

Also.. can someone please explain how they make the text see through with just the outline please.

Wordage.

I think we should have a tutorials sub-forum.. where graph heads drop little explanations on how to do certain things in PS.

nah . just make the thread a talking thread.
fuk making a whole forum.

i agree with provoke

and i make, my old bgrounds (i use brushes for everything now) by clicking on the greadient tool (tool alongside the fill bucket)....then, make sure the setting is set to a rainbow pattern, with transparency on both sides

then just go random with it and start clicking the left buttonall over
once you reach the desired amount of lines....i usually just go to FILTERS>Artistic>Neon Glow
and it changes the base color
after that, i just add filters to reach the desired effect/color

very simple

thanks for posting that provoke, i didnt know animating sigs was that easy. check out what i came up with (I had to lower the image quality cuz the file size was kinda large for 56k, so the pic quality is pretty shitty) :
