[challenge entry] Hammer it baby


While I'm here I'd like to ask if anyone's got a link to a good tutorial explaining animation in ImageReady. I tried the online manuals (sort of) but though I had a million frames they were all somehow linked so that changes on one affected the others, and they all showed as being at 0 seconds. DPaint IV was never this tricky. Cheers if you can point me in the right direction.

# Ha ha
Very good.

There's an option on Image Ready to switch off the automatic propagation of frames after changing frame 1.

# The only thing you can change between frames
is position and various things like transparency and so on. If you want to change size or rotation ar anything, you need new layers. And the number below each frame is the delay for that frame, not the total time. I don't know of any tutorials but keep playing, you'll get the hang of it.

# animated gifs with imageready
I teach computer graphics in downtown chicago
imageready in 5 seconds
do your sequential art in photoshop layers
jump to image ready via file menu

in image ready you need to have open
the layers menu as well as animation - from the window menu
and the main (viewing) window

animation menu shows you the first frame
the layers menu shows you what you will see

the eye icon clarifies what is turned on/off

the animation menu allows for additional frames

as well as time(click on dark blue) and looping (bottom left corner of menu)

the key to making an animated gif out of this

is Save optimized

- a normal save generates a .psd file

i recommend opening an animated gif file
with imageready as a starter
