First of many, hopefully.
I am not entirely happy with a huge picture for the tutorial.
The next ones I hope to have html pages.

Well, I'm gonna try this out when I have a spare 10 hours...because that's prolly how long it will take me to make this, lol.
Nah. It's a very good tutorial, man. I think it should be easy to follow and make.

oh my god. i got the Adobe creative suite (educational package) for christmas from my parents after much coaxing and brown nosing, and was finding it so hard figuring out how to make a decent animation with imageready. thank you thank you thank you ..

hm. i might have to start tapping into you and your animation knowledge more often ..

b33lz3bub In reply to mick-mick [2004-04-19 16:09:34 +0000 UTC]

yes, yes you do. jesus its so annoying - everytime i try making a bluddy animation, when i edit one frame, every other frame is edited *pulls at his hair* and its probably a really simple answer too

mick-mick In reply to b33lz3bub [2004-04-19 16:13:55 +0000 UTC]

When working in ImageReady..
Every change you make to a layer on the first frame is translated to the rest of the frames.
You could work on the individual frames avoiding the first one or you could right click on a layer and uncheck 'Propagate Frame 1 Changes'
