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 are not animating:
Save as PSD to maintain layers.
Then save as PNG.
YOU'RE DONE!!

**TO ANIMATE**
Hide these layers in the Layer Palette:
backdrop3
backdrop2

Open the Animation Window.
Set the time for .2
Show the rest of the layers in the first animation frame.
Click the square button, next to the trash can,
in the animation window.
This will duplicate the first animation frame
and make frame 2.
With animation frame 2 highlighted,
Go over to your Layer Palette.
Highlight the confetti layer.
On your canvas,
Move the confetti down and to the right.

Go back to the animation window.
Highlight the first frame.
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:

Now you'll have ten frames of animation.
For every even numbered frame:
Hide these layers in your Layer Palette
backdrop4
backdrop1
Show:
backdrop3
backdrop2
For your odd numbered frames:
Hide:
backdrop3
backdrop2
Show:
backdrop4
backdrop1

Click Play.
If you like what you see...

Save as PSD. Then Save for Web & Devises.

I hope you had fun with this tut!

♥Tribute to Rieka♥

To honor Rieka and all she has blessed me with, I will be leaving all my tuts that I have written with her kits on my blog. They are not coming down. Even though her kits are no longer available, the tuts I wrote using them are my tribute to her. Hopefully, they will inspire you the way Rieka inspired me. Love You, Rieka! You'll be forever in my heart.♥

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! ♥
