Step 16:
Activate the your first copied snowglobe image. Go to your layer palette
and turn off (hide) layers snow3 and snow2. Make sure that you are
on your top layer. Go to Layers-->Merge-->Merge Visible. Save
this file as Image1.psp.
Step 17:
Activate your 2nd copy of the snowglobe. Go to your layer palette
and turn off layers snow3 and snow1. Merge visible and save as Image2.psp.
Step 18:
Activate your 3rd copy of the snowglobe. Go to your layer palette
and turn off layers snow2 and snow1. Merge visible and save as Image3.psp.
Animation
Step 1:
Now that we have everything merged and saved, it
is time to bring it into the Animation Shop. I have screenshots of
what you should do below.
Where the arrow is pointed is where you start the animation Wizard.
This
is the first screen you will see. Check the same size as the first
image frame and press next.
Check
Transparent and then Next.
Check
with Upper left corner of the frame and With the canvas color and
go to next.
I
set my time at 20. Obviously you can set it whatever you want depending
on how fast or how slow you want the animation to go. The lower the
number the faster the animation.
After you click next you will add your animations.
You can add them one at a time if you would like starting with Image
1, then add image again and enter Image 2 etc., but here is a quick
and easy way to get them all at the same time. Click on add image
and find the file where you saved your 3 image frames in. Hold down
the control key on your keyboard and select image3, image2, and image1
(if you select them in reverse, they will show up in the correct order
in your animation window). Click on "Open" and the images
will be showing in the frame box in the correct order as shown in
the illustration below. Click Next.
Now
click finish and it will bring up your images in animation.
To see what your image will look like, click on the
filmstrip as shown in the illustration below.
If you like what you see then go to file->save
as and give your teardrop snowglobe a file name. It will automatically
save as a gif. Do not change the file extension as we can only animate
a gif file.
Here are a couple more that I have done so far. One
with another tube that I made and one with a graphic.
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial as much as
I did creating it.
I want to thank my wonderful tutorial testers, Randie,
Elkay, Beckie, Terri and Suecat, for without them I wouldn't be where
I'm at today.
