Step 1 Create a new image, and make a layer with an object (Not Black!) where you wanna add this effect to... Add any layer-styles you want, just remember to add a satin like the picture below: (It doesn't need to have the same colors)
1. Change your bumble bee image to RGB mode by clicking image=>mode=> RGB. Highlight your top layer on the stationary. Make the bumblebee your active image.
PhotoShop used to ship with a helper application known as ImageReady, which was used for such things as animation. PhotoShop now has ImageReady features built-in, so we can animate our PhotoShop documents without exporting to an external application. In this tutorial, you will learn how we can add motion to our graphics and export as an animated GIF.
Two of the most recent big additions to Photoshop are smart objects and video layers, both which are very powerful and worth learning. I thought I would try and write the best and longest tutorial ever on these at the same time. Through creating an animated grunge style interface, we will learn some useful techniques and ways to use both of these in any of your projects.
For a serious interface project, I needed to create a nice Please Wait animation. Here is the result - I think it turned out quite nice. Below you'll find that it is very easy to do.
The 'Figure Set' is fine where it is. But lets place the 'Powered by Adobe ImageReady...' rastered/motioned blured layer off screen to the far right, ready for use in frame two of the animation. (Note: This text layer will slide from right to the center position with a slight fade in affect)
Now you should have 5 shape layers, each one with different fill [the numbers above]. Lets go ahead and Jump to ImageReady [bottom of the toolbar button].
Note there will be no visible change to your image preview because the initial shadow Distance is set to 0. This will be the determining feature once in ImageReady for the animation.
10. Ok now you should have 2 slides,One with your bar to the left and one with your bar to the right,Now select your first frame and click the tween button.The button looks like this .
Have you ever had the desire to create a cool signature on a forum, an animated banner, or just something that moves? Here I will tell you how to create an inscription, giving you skills that will serve as the foundation for further experimentation. You can create such things with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe ImageReady. My tutorial will show you how to do something like this:
3. Go to Window>Animation, now a animation palette will appear, then click the black arrow on the upper right of the palette and go to Make Frames From Layers, then click on frame 10, then click on the Duplicates current frame icon, then click on the top layer in the layers palette and adjust the Opacity to around 40%.
Notice that keyframe 1 has stayed the same as the original, but in keyframe 2 the text is now over to the right. If we click between the two keyframes, we can see the differences on the canvas. Next, we can let PhotoShop do the animation of the in-between frames. This is called Tweening. Make sure the second keyframe is selected, and click on the Tweening button () next to the Duplicate button.
14. From Animation palette menu choose Tween,Tween dialog appear choose Tween With to Previous Frame,for Frames to Add type 7,for Layers to All layers,for Parameters to Effect click OK.
In this tutorial we will be lighting up a night scene to give it some added style, These are a few simple tricks that we have covered in the last tutorial "Day to Night. But we will be adding rain as well as animating it. However this is a using less steps for this type of effect... Lets get to it, this is my bud Trevor riding my Honda Ruckus. w00t w00t...
This tutorial is a brief look at how to use ImageReady to create a navigation bar to use in your web site. ImageReady has many tools that make the whole process of preparing images for the web easier.
Now we are going to create an animated winking picture. I took Angelina Jolie's photo. It's a cool effect that adds some animation to your photo album and great for impressing your family and friends. In this lesson i wrote every single step to make it easy to understand. You need to have Photoshop CS or CS2 for that lesson.
Duplicate the layer. Press Ctrl+T. Right click and select Flip Horizontal and place on the other side. Select all the layers and press Ctrl+G to group. This will be the first pose of bat.
Our jack and box, both are done. Link and merge all jack layers together. Time to animate jack. Open animation window. Select first frame and in layer window hide jack layer.
Now with this feature active, the next time you go to 'Save Optimized As', ImageReady will include all the necessary .css style information embedded into your html file.
You don't need a frame 11 set at 0% because frame 1 is set at 0% transparency, and if you have it on an infinite loop you wont need any more than 10 frames for a standard appear and disappear animation.
Note: If you jumped to ImageReady from Photoshop with already existing channels and alpha channels, they will also appear in the list. As the sample captured list shows)
Or, simply save the same .psd file into the '[Drive Letter]:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CSPresetsPatternsAdobe ImageReady Only' folder, and it will appear in ImageReady's predefined list, as I have captured below.
Now all of your images will be in consecutive order, if you want to preview hit the arrow on the bottom there. As you can see there is a slight delay at the end� Why? Well when we did the animation in c4d we went all the way up to 360* so it concluded with a frame that had the 360* angle (which is the same as 0*).
Now I have seen some tutorials that have said "manually go through and resize every frame now." That is a lot of work you don't need to do. Simply go to image, image size. Now you can select what size you want your image to be. I always simply adjust the height to around 150 (since most signatures are at most that tall), when you do that the width will adjust itself.
OK what ever picture you found right click on it and copy. Then open a new document in photoshop the size should be set for you already by coping it. Ok click paste now. Once you done this is what were going to do. Were going to go to layer/new layer. And call it eyeclosed. Once you've done that your going to grab the pen tool. And your going to outline both of the eyes. See how I did it. Make sure you fill in the eyes once you have outline them.
1.) Open an image of your choice in ImageReady. Click on the 2-Up or 4-Up tab. The image below shows an animation file opened in ImageReady. Notice the 2-Up tab has been selected. (This allows a second pane for viewing as we optimize the image).
Start a new document 125 x 95 pixels depending on how big you want the animation window. Then open up your image you want to animate, if its a high resolution image id resize the image to about 1024 x 768 or even 800 x 600 if you prefer. "copy" your photo or what ever image your using and "paste" it into your 125 x 95 document. Then goto "file > edit in ImageReady"
You will already have one frame in the animation window, we need to duplicate this "4" times so click layer one then click the duplicate frame button 4 times. You should now have 5 frames.
3. Next click on the first slide in the animation window then turn on the layer of the image you would like to appear first in the slideshow. The image should then appear in the timeline in the animation window.
6. This will be our main smoke object. However, to make our animation seem more real, we will need a few smoke objects. You can do this by repeating steps 1-5 on new layers, or you can keep it simple and duplicate your smoke object layer 5-8 times.
Under the Tool-menu there is a box. Activate "Animation" in that box. And then we call it animations-palette. Hit Duplicates Current Frame in Animations-palette.
1. All layers are Vector layer objects (Text + Vector Shape Layers) 2. The top 3 layers in the stack are 'Clipped' with the fourth layer. 3. Layer 2 and 3 from the top are hidden while the others are visible. This represents the initial animation state and will be altered later. 4. Layer 4 & 5 are locked. I tend to do this for ImageReady's sake since I always have Smart Guides on. (Optional)
Now with this feature active, the next time you go to 'Save Optimized As', ImageReady will include these xhtml transitional compliant elements into the .html pages of the above template.
Animating used to be confined to Flash, After Effects and other animation applications. Not any more! Join Adobe Certified Instructor Chad Perkins as he guides you through the new world of animation inside Photoshop CS3 Extended.
The aim of the tutorial is to s how you how to make a simple animated mask in Flash. A mask is an object which hides something. In the example below you can see through the circle, which is animated, and everything else is masked.
Create a new Photoshop document, watch out that the document has the right size. For this Signature we'll take 400*120 pixel. Now choose a background image (like the Porsche 911 I took) and copy it in to the signature document. Now we need to give the image the right size and the right position, to do that select the whole image, press the right mouse button and click on Free transform, press shift while giving the image the right size, after that you can move it if you press the left mouse button. Sometimes if the image is too small to fill the whole space you need to create a new layer which is behind the first one. Fill this second layer with the background colour of the image you took for layer 1. Your screen should now look like the next screenshot. The image we need now is the Porsche-logo, so use your browser and google to find a nice version of it. Open it with Photoshop and select the logo (we don't need the background) now copy the logo into the signature document and place it like we did in the last step with the Porsche 911. When you're done with that it should look like the following image. Create a new Layer now (the second symbol from right in the layer box) and fill it with black colour, to do that select the red circled tool and choose black as front colour (double click into the box in the red circle). This will make your screen look like the next image.
[6]-Now go to Window>Animation & then create the 2 Duplicate Frames with the help of 2 times click on following Button which is indicating by Hand sign
[23]-Thanks for reading, I hope this photoshop tutorial has taught you few photoshop tricks and techniques and you can use them in your website design project. Your final image will look like this
[26]-Now use the following Time Settings of Each Frames & after that Play the Animation with the help of click on following Button which is indicating by Hand sign
[16]-Now go to Image Ready with Ctrl+Shift+M & then go to WINDOW>ANIMATION & create the 4 Duplicate Frame with the 4 times click on following Button which is indicating by hand sign
Again, duplicate the current Frame (5), the blurred type layer is already into final position, but reduce that layers opacity to 75%. (Ready to fade out of the animation altogether) Turn visibility of the original 'Powered by Adobe...' type layer and bump up the Opacity to about 38%. (Preparation to fade into full view for the final frame.) Select the 'Figure Set' and bump its Opacity up to 100% so that its now in full view.
Just to let you all know, you don't need to enter Image Ready to create animations. I make all mine in Photoshop, and it's a lot easier. Just open the image, duplicated it a few times, make a new layer over the frame you want the lightning to appear in, stamp the new layer with a lightning brush, double click the layer to open the layer options, add an outer glow, than merge the layer with the one below it. Then open the Animations palette, make the same amount of frames that you have background copies, then match each frame up with each background layer and press play. Then save it by going to Save For Web and select GIF format. Simple as that.

CRTL+N to open a new document. Get used to using keyboard shortcuts, by the way. It'll save you heaps of time you can spend 'smooching'. Make the width 1000 pixels and the height 140. This gives us a banner-like document that is quite small in size but still looks big. Hit SHIFT+F5 to bring up the Fill screen and choose black from the drop down menu:
Photoshop extended can be used to edit image sequences and individual frames as well. Any Photoshop tool can be used to edit the files. You can apply filters, blending modes and layer styles. Like normal PSD layers, you can make selections and apply masks. However, in Photoshop you can work with video only not the Audio. Animation palette can be accessed from Window > Animation.
Open a new document 400�75. Fill the canvas using the gradient tool with a lighter color and a darker color I chose green. Using the eclips selection took make a selection like mine.Just make a circle out side of the document with some of it going in the document. In this selection using your same colors fill it with the same gradient just the colors on the oppisite sides like mine. Keep the selection still and go select > modify > contract with a setting of 5 this make your selection smaller. Then fill it with a different gradient i chose #CCCCCC and #F1F1F1 for mine which is a nice silver. Add in your logo to the silver part. Add in your company name This gives the company name some life. You can add your tag line here and your done or continue through the tutorial to find out how to animate your banner.
Tip: If you want to repeat my steps using the picture resolution that I use, make sure your computer is powerful enough to handle it. Otherwise, you can reduce all the parameters and work with smaller images. I prefer to work with larger resolution, because I want to have more freedom while editing images, and to save the resulting image at a smaller size for better quality.
1. Starting with the Product of this tutorial, Name your layer with the sphere SHPERE, the layer with the reflection REFLECTION, Layer with ripples RIPPLES, and DUplicate the background and call that layer PLAIN BACKGROUND.
To make the tutorial simple, I will rotate only between 2 lines of text, you should then get a fairly good idea of what to do, then you can apply it to create more text rotations.
