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 I am surprised and honoured.However, I think that this tut is now terribly outdated.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 ^^

hey- thanks for the tutorial! But I have one problem so far: I have version CS3 and I don't know where to find the "ImageReady" option you talk about in Step 4- can you help?

should be on the right hand side just like in PS7 - otherwise, just open ImageReady as a separate programme (it should be in Programmes on your computer if it's installed).

you're welcome! It's not strictly speaking Photoshop itself that you animate in... it's ImageReady that's like a free add-on that comes with it ^^

Do you mean, getting it from Photoshop into ImageReady? Ctrl+Shift+M should take you straight to ImageReady.

Great tut! Never would have thought of animating stamps like that.
However, the font you used for the actual tutorial was a little hard to read.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I agree with you on the font - the thing is, I kinda used that font for everything without realising it isn't suitable for a tutorial and should be simpler! Point taken!
