Posted by Shady Lady
- March 28, 2006, 08:00:34 PMADDING GLITTER TO AN ANIMATION
STEP 1: SELECTING AN ANIMATION
TIPS:
1. Use an animation with minimal movement or 4 or fewer frames until you get the basics of adding glitter to the images. You will need to select the area you want to add glitter to on each frame separately.
2. Use an animation that has colors that are easy to select. As you master selecting using the different tools then use animations that has many colors or colors that are similar.
The image used for this tutorial:
STEP 2: ANIMATION SHOP
1. Open the image you want to use in animation shop.
2. Press Ctrl + A to select all the frames.
3. Press Ctrl + C to copy all the frames.
STEP 3: PSP
1. Open PSP
2. Click on Edit, then select Paste. Next select As Animation As Multiple Images
STEP 4: SELECTING PARTS OF THE IMAGE TO ADD GLITTER TO
1. Click on the Magic Wand Tool
. You will have to adjust the tolerance so that you can get the parts of parts of the image you want to glitter.For this image settings are 60% tolerance, Mode is Add(Shift)
CLICK TO SEE LARGER IMAGE
2. Click on the image where you want to add glitter.
TIPS:
If you need to adjust the tolerance to get the parts you want selected. I would do all of that part of the image in all the frames with the same tolerance setting. Then, go back to image 1 and change the tolerance. Select the part of the image that needs that tolerance setting. Then do the other frames using that tolerance. Repeat until you have what you want selected.
You can also use Ctrl + Shift + I to select the opposite part of the image. You can use this to switch back and forth to get the parts you want selected.
Press the S to use the Selection Tool
. You can use this to select parts to glitter also.3. Repeat #2 for all other frames in the animation.
4. Make 3 copies of each frame by clicking on each frame and clicking Shift +D 2 times. For this image you will end up with 12 frames.
STEP 5: ADDING NOISE
1. Go to image 1. Click on Adjust. Then, click on Add/Remove Noise. Now click on Add Noise. Do this for both copies also changing the noise amount.
Settings: For this image I used 30, 35, 40% noise with Gaussian and Monochrome checked.
CLICK FOR LARGER IMAGE
2. Repeat #1 for all the frames in the animation.
STEP 6: SAVING EACH COPY
1.Click on File. Then, Export. Then, GIF Optimizer.
Make sure exsisting image or layer transparency is checked.
2. Repeat #1 for each all copies of all the frames.
STEP 7: ANIMATION SHOP
1. Open Animation Shop.
2. Click on Animation Wizard button
3: Wizard Choices
Same as the first image frame ... click next
Transparent ... click next
Upper Left corner of the frame With preceding frames contents ... click next
Yes, Repeat the animation indefinitely ... click next
How Long do you want each frame to be displayed? 10 or adjust to suit your animation ... click next
Add Image ... Click on frame 1 Click and hold the ctrl key and click on the other frames in the animation. Click Open ... make sure they are in order 1,2, 3 ... click next
4. Click Finish.
5. Click on the View Animation Button
If it is what you want, Click on File. Then, Save As
Pick a file name and save as a gif file. You are done.
If it's not, go to step 8.
STEP 8: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ANIMATION
1. If the glitter isn't moving enough or to much, press ctrl + A to select all the frames. Then press Alt + enter to adjust the frame properties. Here adjust the display time.
2. Another adjustment you can make is to duplicate frames. Select the frame(s) you want to duplicate. Press Ctrl + C. Select the frame you want it to come after and press Ctrl + Shift + L
For this image I selected the first 3 frames by clicking on frame 1 holding down the shift key and clicking on the 3rd frame. I then pressed Ctrl + C. Clicked on frame 3 and pressed Ctrl + Shift + L to paste the 3 frames after frame 3. I pasted the frames 4 times. When done I had 24 frames.
The first image is the original, Second without adding the extra frames, Third final with adding the frames.
By adding the frames instead of slowing down the delay time it keeps the glitter moving and slows down the eye blinking.
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial.
