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However, I think that this tut is now terribly outdated.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 ^^

irinarichards In reply to wyldflower [2008-12-29 16:36:24 +0000 UTC]

Photoshop 7 ^^' Should work the same way with other versions, I reckon...

A friend of mine has 5, but it doesn't have the animation feature. I will have to look for 7 when I go shopping next.

Thanks.

irinarichards In reply to harajukudarkangel [2008-11-25 16:38:31 +0000 UTC]

hmmm, not 100% sure but it might be that dA needs preview for .gif images that exceed a certain size.

STOCKher In reply to ??? [2008-09-23 15:28:04 +0000 UTC]

I didn't know about the "time delay" arrow at the bottom of the frame. Thank you! That saves alot of time from duplicating frame after frame after frame, in order to get the time delay just right.

Sorry, it's been a long time since I've done an animation, and I can't for the life of me find where the "Optimize panel" is. Can you tell me where I get it from please?

irinarichards In reply to MichelleWalker [2008-08-30 22:32:42 +0000 UTC]

yes, it's under File => Save Optimized As.

Hehe, it would be helpful if you lot could post what you did when you say "oh never mind I've fixed it"; I'm stuck at the part where you paste frame 2 into frame 1... it just makes them both look like frame 2 >

Hi, sorry, just a question ... what if you have Elements? Is there another program that you can work with to animate it

I've definatly wanted to make the jump to animated stamps because I've had a good response to my stamps.
This tutorial has been so very helpful! I haven't tried to animate said stamp yet, but I found this very easy to read and very easy to understand. You did a wonderful job in explaining each step.
Brava!
