Prepare to be geeked...Over the last couple of days I've been learning to script Photoshop (using JavaScript). This pic was made using some of the scripts I've made while learning.
I'd be very happy to share the scripts with you, or anyone who's interested. You need to be using CS2, because I don't think they'll work with other versions. Just drop me an email (my username, at my username dot com)
If that's no good, then you can get the same colour-change effect by hand with a little work... just make a colourful pic, then place a hue/saturation adjustment layer as the top layer. Set the 'Hue' slider to -180 to start with.
Now merge all visible layers to a new layer (shift-ctr-alt-e), turn visibility off on the merged layer, move the 'Hue' slider to the right a bit (I'm using increments of 30), then repeat the process.
When you've taken the 'Hue' slider all the way to the right (180), take the document into ImageReady, pull each merged layer into a frame, optimize, weep, compromise, and there's your animation :)
