How do you divide a gif picture in to seperate sprites without using ImageReady?
(Using Photoshop CS3)
*
go to File > Import > Folder as Frames.*

can you do this in cs3 or is it only in imageready?

I’m interested in learning that DISCOVERIES tut, but what is that WIREFRAME step? Is that what’s called renders? :wonder:

Or something…

wireframe c4ds. . .

Edit: Nevermind.

i just started learning photoshop, and after going through many trial runs with kidzero’s first tutorial, i’m still not exactly sure how to make a border. :sweat:

explanations, please?

I am having a really hard time doing animated gifs. Anyone have a tutorial or could just simply explain to me how I can make the K in my avy shine/sparkle/anything? I’m using Fireworks CS3 btw.

For borders, I usually create a new BLANK layer and put it at the very top.

Press CTRL+A, which will select everything inside the layer you are currently on. Since its blank, it should select the whole layer.

Go to EDIT->STROKE. A window will pop up asking you how big to make the STROKE. In this case, stroke basically is referring to the width of the border’s frame.

Select a number and press OK. You should have a border now.

NOTE: The aforementioned CTRL+A only works in Photoshop. Using CTRL+A in ImageReady will select ALL LAYERS instead of everything inside of ONE LAYER.

Or it could just be my Photoshop. I dunno. :wonder:

awesome. thanks, sas. :tup:

I figured I’d just ask it here…

I was trying to resize an image in Photoshop using the Resize Wizard [easiest way in my opinion] when a window popped up and said YOUR SCRATCH DISKS ARE FULL.

  1. What does that mean?
  2. How do I solve the problem?
  3. I remember when first using Photoshop it told me to move my scratch drive to another HDD, but I don’t know how to go about doing this.

Any light shed on this would be appreciated.

Your scratch disc is what photochop calls your hard drive. That is where it puts anything that it is thinking about that doesn’t fit into ram. To tell photochop to use a specific drive, go to edit-> preferences-> plugins and scratch disks.

If photochop is telling you that your scratch disc is full, you need to either get more ram, assign more scratch discs, or stop doing what you are doing in photochop that takes up so much memory.

^Thanks for the fast reply Rei!

I got a secondary HDD so I’ll switch it from there. As for my Photoshop works, its basically just avatars, though mostly animated ones [using Photoshop CS if that makes a difference].

Good lookin’ out! :china:

Found a cool one where you can make digital paintings more easily.

I’m by no means any good at PS, but I’ve been messing around in Photoshop a little more lately (trying to figure out some custom artwork for a stick I want).

I actually like the effect of the “concentric ringlike pattern”.

Just posterize the layer.

Image -> Adjustments -> Posterize
Adjust the amount of levels to however you want it to look.

Non-posterized

Posterized with 15 levels

Poserized with 30 levels

sorry for an extremely noob question but what is the best photoshop to get in terms of effectiveness and easy-to-use balanced out?

I love Photoshop CS.

I’m on CS3.

whats the difference between CS2 and CS3?

As far as I know, CS3 combined ImageReady and Photoshop into one. :xeye:

What are the sizes a non perm av can be? i know 160x64 is ok but is the one from kid zeros av tut a non perm size the 135x140 is still non perm?

I’m pretty sure he just had that made for another forum. . . .
