Question

I have Photoshop and I was wondering how this was done, the technique on her dress anyway, not the actual animation. =) I'm not very good at animation either, but anyway...




I apologize if this has been addressed before. I really didn't want to post and look stupid, but alas, I think I do! Hahaha.


Here's the icon:

Did she color the layers (can you do that with actual clips?!) or did she just mess with the levels or something?

Anyway, thanks in advance if anyone knows!
