I would write instructions, but I have done it in the past and the person I wrote them for didn't understand them.

Do you still have the instructions? I'd love to read them, I bought the book
Master Visually for Photoshop elements 3 but it has everything but avatars. :(
I have heard it takes a long time to learn, but I really do want to :) :) :)

rmgraves 03-25-2006 04:04 PM
me too, me too!! I want one too. I cant get it the right size :(

You're having trouble with the making the animated ones with photo shop, or with sizing and posting them? For using the animation part of photo shop. follow the instructions on how to make a banner.

me too, me too, please !!

Try searching ANIMATION & LAYERING in your manual...also - there are great Help sites (Tutorials) on the net for doing amimated pictures...you just have to find one that applies to what you want to do and make sure you have that program....Once you learn how to layer pictures - the animation part is pretty easy.

When I taught myself 3 years ago...I did net searches for a week reading...but there are more help sites out there now.

I have a FREE ULEAD gif animator I can email people - it is simple and will show you the basics...just pm me.

It's really hard to type out directions...with so many programs out there ..many of the steps may not apply.

If you pm me...I'll give you my email and you can send me your picture...I can size it for you.

The best way to get an Avatar sized picture is to CROP first...(delete most background) then size it to 75 x 75 pixels.....

TeddyBear 03-25-2006 10:31 PM
what program do you use?
 
What's the best photo program to get to do stuff like this? I am interested in doing this and other stuff. When I go looking for the program there is so much to choose from. Any suggestions??

I would like a copy. I've been working on making my own moving avatar but can't figure it out. That way I don't have to bother you for help like I always do. LOL

Sweetie..you don't bother me and you'll have yours today... :)

TeddyBear...there ARE lots of programs - the best is Photo Shop...but it takes lots of reading and patience to learn that program...when you get the basics it does get easier......I personally do mine in Photo Shop Elements 2....I'm too lazy to learn all the Photo shop stuff...and I find animations are easy for me in PS Elements

This is a FREE download if anyone wants it....It's PSP 7 and I believe comes with Animation functions....Click THIS :

I've used PSP7 for years, and LOVE it. Some folks I know have upgraded to 8 and 9, then are disapointed. I'm happy they've brought back this version for people to try.

I'm also happy to help make avatars for anyone. Just ask!

Muffie's Mom 03-26-2006 05:22 AM
I use PhotoShop Elements and it's kind of easy to use.

I tried the ULead animator and it wasn't hard to do.

strawberrycream 03-26-2006 06:04 AM
Me Tooooooooo..........!!
 
:D I have been wanting to learn how to do the animated avatars for the longest time, since I joined here and seen alot of people with them. I just learned how to put one on here but unfortunately had to have a good person from here do the sizing for me. I have adobe photo shop on my computer is this what I can use? or is their another program of photoshop I need?

Someone gave me their old PS Elements. I "think" you may be able to get a free trial period for Elements. You'd have to google it.

StewiesMom 03-26-2006 06:13 AM
I can't find my instructions. They were for photoshop image ready

Check your version of Photo Shop....some come bundled with Image Ready and that's the program you do animations in...you can see in your yellow folder if you have IR

mustangbee 03-26-2006 10:27 AM

I have a link saved in my favorites at the office that I'll post tomorrow. My picture quality wasn't that good when I made mine and I need to redo it. It's a link the was posted on here a while ago by someone that was making the avarts for everyone. I couldn't find the thread (must be too old) so I'll post it tomorrow if I remember...

I have made a website with pictures of my husband and myself and a few of our favorite songs, sat for two days figuring it all out and yet I can't make an animated avitar :confused: I have Paint Shop Pro 7 and Animation Shop 3 and still can't do it.

Latuya 03-26-2006 09:54 PM
I downloaded the site Villette shared with us all.

Layering
 
This gives me a head ache... geesh.. I can build a avator but layering forget it!! :mad: I end up wanting to throw my computer threw the window..

prncssleah 03-27-2006 08:25 AM
Here's the link...
 
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com...inkie_as.shtml

This is the link I was talking about. It'll give you the basics on how to make an animated avatar. (aka blinkie).

At the end to resize go to image: image size and then set the size for the specs in YT's avatar requirements.

I hope this helps.

LOL

I think I might have a little clue,
The first one made me dizzy.
You can click on it, but please don't get mad,
I did warn you :) :) :)
But I have been working on it! :D :D :D :D

Muffie's Mom 03-28-2006 06:53 PM
You're on the right track! I think we've all been there. Just slow it down a little bit! That brought back memories of mine about a month ago!

I have been working on it a very long time.
Computers are just not for me. I can e-mail
And YT but when it comes to other things
I have to wait for our son to have time to show
me, or learn on my own. I'll tell ya, after this LONG day,
Grandma needs a nap! Good night all!
