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 I am surprised and honoured.However, I think that this tut is now terribly outdated.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 ^^

This tut is for Photoshop 7, but yes, you can do it with any version - in later versions it's even easier, you just create 3 layers with a different picture on each, then go to Save for Web and tick the "animate" box, choose the speed and voila!

I've got GIMP instead of ps, but from what I already know of GIMP, it seems mostly the same. I'll see what I can figure out.

i've been following this tutorial to make my first stamp and it's been very helpful. but i'm having trouble with slides. i'm using a trial version of PS C5 and when i duplicate a slide, whatever i do to the one i want to paste the next slide on, it happens to the first slide. i'm not sure how to correct this or if i can so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't wait to give this a try! However, I do have a question for you: do you know how to make a stamp from a pic that's already animated?

Hello~
may i ask for a link to a download for that program you use ;3
I tried lookin for it but couldnt find the same one
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You mean ImageReady? As far as I know you can't download it separately. It comes with older versions of Photoshop. In the newer versions, the animation options are built-in.
Sorry - looks like I can't help you with this one ;_;
Btw, if you haven't got any programmes that do animation, you can always create GIFs online on sites like Gickr: [link]

oh
thats ok ;3
I do have an animation program
but im trying to find out if theres a program that can stop my gif animations from turning all wierd colors and pixel like~
thx anywayz ;D

What's with background? I cant make it totally tranparet, alittle spots become white....
The "save for web and devices"'s options are kinda complicated

I have a saved .fla file of a stamp aniamtion, and I don't own photoshop. Is there a different way?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If the animation is all finished (in Flash I presume) and is the right size for a stamp, then DA should allow you to post it here in DA Related => Stamps. Otherwise you'll have to post it here as a Flash movie I guess.

Thank you anyways...

what should i do if don't see a thing like "jump to imageready"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ctrl-Shift-M, or open ImageReady manually from Start => All Programs, it should be there. Hope it helps!

i dag over my system, seems like i don't have such a programm at all.
Thanks anyway

You're welcome - what version of Photoshop are you using? Some versions have built-in animation features. Like in Photoshop Elements for example, when you do Save For Web, there's an Animation option.

i wish i knew
something like CS4 i assume.
nope, here i don't have such things
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
In PS Elements, it's even easier. You make a file with each slide on a different layer, go to Save for Web and choose .gif and tick the Animate option, then you can choose the speed etc. That's how I did it in Elements anyway ^^

Do you know if it can be done on Corel Painter?
I think I have animation up there.

everything was going great until step 5 D:
I Tried the select all but there wasn't any edit or copy anywhere on my options

Here's a screenshot that may help with Step 5 - [link] You just need to make sure that option is ticked.
