The latest drama in my pathetic life!

[angelsdee]

I'm moved...kind of. For those behind on the drama of my wretched life...

My husband (James) decided to move us from a smaller house on this property to the larger one when our landlady finally got sick of the former tenants and booted them out. I never wanted to move. Let me repeat this. I Never Wanted To Move! Yes, we were crammed into the other

Football? I was just watching football on Season 1 Ep 3 of The Vampire Diaries...LOL!

I have not done any tutorials for gifs. I use Photoshop Elements 3.0, which is an older version.

I always take a good high quality photo and open it. I make a new photo that is blank and make it the hight and width that I want the gif. I then crop or resize the Hottie's photo so that the width is the same.

I copy paste the hottie pic onto a blank white photo that I have cropped to the size I want. Pick what part of the hottie pic you want for your beginning by clicking on that layer and moving it up and down to view. Then maybe add some text then save it as something like H1. Delete the text then move the photo down just a litte then save as H2 and then some more with H3 and so on till you have several saved.

Then open all the H1, H2, H3 and so on then. The one you want to not move much as for the beginning like H1 - copy/past several of that layer over the first...copy H2 on top of H1.Copy H3 on top of that and H4 on top of that.

Once all layers are on top of each other in a stack, save this under the setting GIF with Layers. Then tell it you want it animated and then select how much of a second. Save it and open it and see if it is fast enough or way to fast. Then, go back to it on photoshop and resave it altering the time and/or adding more of the H1 layers to drag it out.

Any motion fade out to another photo can be done by copy one layer on top of another like H2 on top of H1. Then make H2's transparency 25% and save as H2a then 50% and save as H2b then 75% and save as H2C. Then open H1 and put H2a on top then H2b then H2c then H2. Then add all the others or add in more H1's at the start. Then save as a gif like the other with layers and a time setting. Then view and resave with different layers or times to make it move the way you want.

You can open one of the gif banners I sent you in photoshop and see that it has layers and look at them to see how I did it. Let me know if this works.
