In this tut we'll make 2 layers move.

Use my tag as a guide for placement of elements.
Open a canvas 700x700 pixels.
Flood fill with the color of your choice.
Open PP10.
Center on canvas.
Open Mask1.
You'll see three layers in Mask1.
Only move the layer called Mask
onto your siggy.
Place this on top of your paper.
With this layer highlighted
hold your CTRL key down on your keyboard
and hit your mask icon in the layer palette
at the same time.
You'll see little marching ants now.
Highlight your paper layer.
Click the mask button
(this is a square with a circle in it)
at the bottom of the layer palette.
*You should have two pictures in your paper layer now.
One of your paper and one of the mask.*
Hide your mask layer.
Highlight the paper layer.
Right click in the layer palette.
Hit Convert to Smart Object.
Right click again.
Click Rasterize Layer.
Now you can delete the gray mask layer.

Rotate to your liking.
Duplicate this layer.
Move a little to you can see both shoes.

Make another new layer.
Type your saying.
I used color 0dfb01.
Stroke, Outside, 3, Black
I placed a Drop Shadow on this layer.
MOST IMPORTANT!!
You must now do this:
Put the artist's name, website, and your license number
of the tube you used on the siggy!!
Add your name (ie: Designed by Your Name) behind this info.
Make sure this info is legible and clearly seen.
If you don't want to animate, Save as PNG.
YOU'RE DONE!!
(If you want to maintain your layers
Always Save as PSD first.
Then you can save it as a PNG.
When doing both these steps
It is important to change the title of the tag.
Example:
When I Save as PSD,
I always name the tag what I want.
Then, when saving as a PNG,
I add the number 1 behind the name of the tag.
Like this:
Spookilicious, Save as PSD
Spookilicious1, Save as PNG
Otherwise, your PNG will overwrite your PSD
Merging your tag into one layer only.)
**TO ANIMATE**
Open your animation window.
Set the time for .3
Show only your first tube layer.
Hide your second tube layer.
Move your ghost to where you would like him
to start out moving.
Click the square button, next to the trash can,
in the animation window.
This will duplicate the first animation frame.
You will now have frames 1 & 2.
Highlight frame 2 in the animation window.
(Leave the tube layers alone for right now.
We'll do that in a bit.)
Now go over to your Layer Palette.
Highlight your ghost layer.'
Move your ghost up or down to your liking.
Where you move this layer
is where your ghost will stop rising or falling.
Now go back to your animation window.
Highlight frame 1.
See that icon that looks like a slanted row of squares?
Place your cursor over it.
It will say: Tweens Animation Frames.
Click it.
A new window pops up.
Use these settings:
Click OK.
You should now have eight frames of animation.
Go ahead and click Play
to see your layers float.
Ok.
Now back to animating the rest of the siggy.
Highlight frame 1 in the animation window.
Duplicate this.
The frame you just duplicated will now be frame 2.
Click on frame 2 and while holding down the mouse,
move what is now frame 2 over
past frame 8.
Let go of the mouse.
Now you have nine frames.
Go to the eighth animation frame in the animation window.
Highlight frame 8.
Hit the tween button.
Use the same settings as before except
Frames to Add: 7
You will now have 16 animation frames.
For all odd numbered frames:
Show the first tube layer.
Hide the second tube layer.
For all even numbered frames:
Show the second tube layer.
Hide the first tube layer.
Click Play.
If you like what you see...
Save as PSD. Then Save for Web & Devises.
YOU'RE DONE!
I hope you had fun with this tut
and that you can use the tween technique
in other taggies you create!
HUGS!

About Me
- Savage
- Hi Ya'll! I'm Savage and I'd like to welcome you to Redneck Tuts. These are not your ordinary tuts, as they are geared toward those of us that don't have "working knowledge" of Photoshop or PSP. My tuts are all done in PS. They are designed to show you different techniques that you may not know. I hope you learn something that you can use in your creations in the future. Please, just have fun and put your own spin on these tuts. Be original and shine! Love Ya! ♥
