[GlitterEyes]

What exactly does it say when you try to open it? Do you open it from inside PSP?

[stacey]

[andybigbro]

Please help

[GlitterEyes]

If you have psp 8 open..go to file...and look for Jasc software products just it come up under there...if so are you able you click it? or is it highlighted out in a grey colour?

[andybigbro]

i do have animation shop its just i wanted add animated stars to it like the butterfly you added to your ciara banner?

[GlitterEyes]

So animation shop works now? I can send you the butterfly if you want it:thumbs:

[andybigbro]

Yes please but how do you add it to images lol i am like so stuch

Do you have moving stars aswell?

[GlitterEyes]

Aslong as you have animation shop working they are easy to add to banners. Will u2u you a link in a min.

[andybigbro]

Ok thanks GE

[MarkWaldorf]

Could you u2u me the link too GE? I would appreciate it. Thanks. :thumbs:

[GlitterEyes]

Done...let me know through u2u or on there if you want to see any more:spin2:

[MarkWaldorf]

Thanks. I had to join so hopefully you can accept my request.

[GlitterEyes]

Should be in now. I'll be online for about another hour or so if you have any questions or want the star version uploading too.

[MarkWaldorf]

Thanks, I've downloaded it. Just playing about with it on AS.

Do you know how to add it to a banner? Cause it's in frames, so it's confusing.

[GlitterEyes]

You need animation shop to add it. I have wrote a quick tutorial on how to add it on there but not sure if it makes any sense lol. Basically take your banner into animation shop and duplicate the frames so it matches the butterfly (minus the black part as thats just for the preview) then just highlight all frames and paste them over onto your banner.

[andybigbro]

THANKS GE I HAVE DONE IT IT WORKED

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah, I have it lol. I'm reading the tutorial you wrote on it, I'm just having troubles pasting the frame over.

Thanks for these. :thumbs:

[GlitterEyes]

Paste the frames in one go....highlight all the frames on both the banner and animation and then drag it across with the mouse, It might take a few goes to get it positioned where you want but you can easily use the undo button..


Congrats Andy...lets see your dazzling creation:bigsmile:

[andybigbro]

oklol

i just added a butterfly to my nick banner

[GlitterEyes]

Looking Good:spin: Also if the animation is too big you can resize it a little in animation shop so it fits better...especially when adding it to smaller banners otherwise you cut half the animation out lol. Do you want the star one uploading?

[MarkWaldorf]

Thanks GE, I've done it. Could you upload the star one too, please?

[andybigbro]

Yes Please

and all the ones for Ash you had if its not too much truble

Ok another quick note before saving your images as a gif ....in animation shop click on File....optimization wizard...make sure both top boxes are ticked which I think are the "normal settings" and this will keep your image in the best quality and look sharp. Not sure if any of you did that but just came into my head:thumbs:

Thanks. :thumbs: I do that on PSP for when I'm saving them as JPEG files, it keeps them nice and clear like PNG.

[andybigbro]

GE how do resize the animations again lol

[GlitterEyes]

Do you both have/use winzip?

To Resize go to animation.....resize animation and resize by about 80%...plus make sure bicubic resample it ticked:thumbs: You may need to resize more than 80% for the bigger ones but the image can fade.

[andybigbro]

i dunno whats that?

[GlitterEyes]

Its a program which allows you to unzip zip files. It is free if you search google for it.

[andybigbro]

yeah i am downloading a trial of it now

[andybigbro]

i have it now

[andybigbro]

i have it so but did i need it lol?

[MarkWaldorf]

I already had a full version on my comp anyway.

[andybigbro]

lol i made a michelle bass banner with it on it

[GlitterEyes]

You will need it shortly:thumbs:

Still uploading the zip files but will post a message when completed. They are the same thing just need an extra step in unzipping them.

[andybigbro]

[GlitterEyes]

Completed lol...left a message for you both as you download these a little different from the others. Let me know if you need help.
