Second tutorial.
A tutorial on simple avatar-animating. How to make your Character blink.
*EDIT*
I forgot to mention that when you save the file, save it as a GIF. ^^ This is so you can upload it to DA, or other sites which allows you to use GIF files for an avatar.
If you cant find IMAGEREADY Try clicking your start button, and go to "All programs". If you cant find it amongst your list of programs there, try looking for its containing folder (Still in Start>All programs). It should be titled "Adobe" or something like that.
If you still cant find it there, try searching for it. Again, go to start, and click search. Then just click "All files and folders" and type in "Imageready".
Imageready is supposed to come with your Photoshop, I use Adobe Photoshop CS2, so I have Imageready CS2.
If you really dont have Imageready, then you can just save it in photoshop like so: File>Save for web

GAH I HAD IT ALL SO PURRFECTLY.
I got it all but I can't get my Cs3 three to KEEP it animated, I can make it blink and everything- when it's on the program, but when I save it and try to upload it, it stops, won't budge an inch even.

Ahhhh. I think I understand your problem.
Did you save it as a GIF? :3 File>Save for web. That might be it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The GIF on omy Ps is called "ComputerServe (.GIF ect)" and I have saved it as that, it's the only Gif I have...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmmm. I think it should work, in that case. >: I'm sorry, I dont really know much about CS3, even though I'm told it should be the same as CS2.

OH, actually. You can just use photoshop to save images as GIFs. 83 (I figured that out after I made the tutorial. orz. I think I added it to the description)
but if you wanna save an image as a gif, just go File>Save for web.. etc. ^^
