Description UPD2: Guys, I really am chuffed that so many people found this tutorial helpful. It came as a total surprise when DA gave me a Daily Deviation for it, and that it has accumulated 55K views. I am surprised and honoured.
However, I think that this tut is now terribly outdated. Hardly anyone uses ImageReady anymore. In this day and age, you can make an animated GIF directly in CS5, online - even in Powerpoint, whatever rocks your boat. If I had time, I could make a CS5 stamp tutorial or something - however, there are some awesome tutorials for that already, so why reinvent the wheel?
I haven't got time to reply to all the comments I get for this deviation, or respond to all the faves - so comments are disabled for now, sorry!
Last but not the least: this tutorial is far from perfect. I don't make stamps anymore. I am a published manga artist, I draw manga and illustrations and do workshops (and have been doing so since 2004, would you believe!). I really am somewhat disappointed that this tutorial got noticed and recognised more than any work that I put my heart and soul into.
So thank you for your interest - and please check out other art in my DA gallery, or on my website www.irinarichards.com.

Thanks! Peace and love all around ^^

Insert the stamp's thumb code into your journal, for example :*thumb57219913*: (remove the asterisks)

I have Photoshop elements 7.0. Would you happen to know where the "Image Ready" button or the animation setting would be on that program?

I'm fixing to upload it right now!
Though I will admit, I did have a problem trying to get the second stamp frame pasted right. For some reason it kept pasting the second frame in both frames. I'm really not sure why.
:/

I'll send you a link though. But it's nothing special.

does this work for ps elements?

irinarichards In reply to evilgirl2 [2011-02-06 11:40:00 +0000 UTC]

Yes, although it's slightly different. When you go to save your stamp, got to Save for Web and Devices, click the Animation option and set the animation speed there and voila!

I have a little problem the template I used has a shadow included and when I try to save the optimized stamp erases the shadows or I have to play with the options to make a shitty kinda shaows. I have photoshop CS5 and I would really like to know if there's a way to keep that original shadow. Thanks in advance.
