Description UPD2: Guys, I really am chuffed that so many people found this tutorial helpful. It came as a total surprise when DA gave me a Daily Deviation for it, and that it has accumulated 55K views. I am surprised and honoured.
However, I think that this tut is now terribly outdated. Hardly anyone uses ImageReady anymore. In this day and age, you can make an animated GIF directly in CS5, online - even in Powerpoint, whatever rocks your boat. If I had time, I could make a CS5 stamp tutorial or something - however, there are some awesome tutorials for that already, so why reinvent the wheel?
I haven't got time to reply to all the comments I get for this deviation, or respond to all the faves - so comments are disabled for now, sorry!
Last but not the least: this tutorial is far from perfect. I don't make stamps anymore. I am a published manga artist, I draw manga and illustrations and do workshops (and have been doing so since 2004, would you believe!). I really am somewhat disappointed that this tutorial got noticed and recognised more than any work that I put my heart and soul into.
So thank you for your interest - and please check out other art in my DA gallery, or on my website www.irinarichards.com.

Thanks! Peace and love all around ^^

So helpful!

But I have a problem whit the Step 5! x_x'
When I paste the Stamp Slide 2, the slide 1 change for the Stamp Slide 2 too.
Then, I have the Slide 1 and 2 with the second image. <รต>
I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Let's look at wht you do before you paste Stamp Slide 2.
When you click "Duplicate Current frame", does the programme create a new layer as well?

Do most kinds of Photoshop come with ImageReady??

irinarichards In reply to RazzinAussi [2008-01-24 16:38:22 +0000 UTC]

all of them I think - they're part of the same package. There's a button on the bottom of the Tools panel, saying "jump to ImageReady".

When I try to paste my Stampslide2 into the duplicated frame it turns both frames into Stampslide2. x.x I have no clue what to do. All the layers are flattened and I have to open Stamplise2 into photoshop to copy it BUT it does copy and paste okay. The problem is I lose Stampslide1 when I paste it.

hi irina *NICE NAME
your tutorial its really good
but i have a problem with the fifth step U.U
i duplicate the first frame.. ok.. i open my stamp slide 2.. ok.. but i dont find SELECT.. ive tried to make CTRL and C for copy and CTRL and V for paste.. but its wrong.. it remains the 2 slide of stamp 1 =.=
ps i have Photoshop cs2.

irinarichards In reply to Hann88 [2007-12-15 21:17:13 +0000 UTC]

it might be a bit different in CS2. Try it this way: open Stamp Slide 2, right click on it. The menu should show the "Select All" option. Click on "Select All" and then Edit => Copy and so on as in the tutorial. Hope that helps!
