Wow, this looks amazing! I think the color swap frame adds a lot, even though it's visible for only a split second. 

Thanks so much for making this!

I Hate to Ask You This, But I Cant Find The Answer Anywhere. When I Have The Single Row Marquee Tool Selected, And I Select A Row, If I Move The Selcetion The Image Thats Selected Doesnt Move With It. How Do I Get It To Move With The Selection.

You use the move tool (the mouse icon with the cross I think).

Thank you very much!


Depends on what it is I'm animating. The animation above maybe took 15 to 30 minutes (I was heavily distracted so I lost track) while my bouncy pixel animations take 3 hours on average.

oh wow, you are very talented, I wish I was as good as you, I would love to animate my characters >n<

btw, your icon, it makes me giggle every time I see it.  Does it matter if you have the CS5 or CS6?

Sorry if I am asking so many questions, I really want to get good at pixeling. >n<

my apologies.

(sorry for the late reply!)

Thank you very much! It takes a bit of time and patience, so don't give up


the version really doesn't matter-- the only difference between the newer versions of Photoshop have with the older versions is that the older versions relied on a secondary program to do the animation.

haha, no worries.
I have patience but it seems to run out pretty fast sometimes...

-shot-
and oh really? there are not that big of differences in the new and old photoshops?

medli20 In reply to LeLittleLuna [2013-08-04 05:59:04 +0000 UTC]

Well the new versions of Photoshop have all sorts of new features for photomanipulation and stuff, but when it comes to pixel-art-making ability, there's not much of a difference at all.
