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,
Make sure all your paw prints are showing.
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:
Purrr, Save as PSD
Purrr1, Save as PNG
Otherwise, your PNG will overwrite your PSD
Merging your tag into one layer only.)
**TO ANIMATE**
Hide all your paw prints
in the Layer Palette.
Open the Animation Window.
Set the time for .3.
Show all layers in the first frame
except the paw prints.
Click the square button, next to the trash can,
in the animation window.
This will duplicate the first animation frame
making frame 2.
Go over to your Layer Palette.
Unhide the first paw print layer.
Go back to the animation window.
Open a new animation frame (frame 3).
Go to Layer Palette.
Unhide the second paw print layer.
Now back to the animation window again.
Make a fourth animation frame.
In Layer Palette, unhide third paw print.
In animation window, make frame 5.
In Layer Palette, unhide fourth paw print.
Duplicate frame 5 in animation window.
Leave as is.
You should have six frames of animation.
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 this technique
in other taggies you create!
HUGS!
