Description

ahh those troublesome animations! I know I always struggled with them, and somehow taught myself... hope this helps someone! 
*this is with PSE 9, I don't remember how to use gimp, so sorry!*

Part I: fav.me/d7rz3o1
Part II: fav.me/d7rz3sl

How to animate a bounce (heart/etc)   
1: Open what you want to animate. 
2: create a new layer and draw in what you'd like to bounce. 

3: duplicate that layer, and title it "up".
4: Move ONE of those layers up. (take the little heart etc, and move it up a little!)

5: duplicate your base layer. (the one that you first opened.)
6: title one of the base layers up and one down. 

7: NOW. Merge the up base layer with the layer you drew in that you wanted to bounce. 
8: Do the same with both layers that you titled down!

9: You should be done. Look at the steps in the tutorial for the rest. (save for web etc)


How to make your icon bounce: 
1: Open your file
2: Duplicate the layer, and title it up.
3: Move that layer up.
You should have two layers. 
Save for web! 

ARG I'm horrible at explaining things sorry guys!! If you need some help sometime feel free to note me a JM link ♥
