Help with animating in Image Ready/Photoshop CS2
I'm trying to teach myself how to use Image Ready and I am so confused. I tried following a simple tutorial and nothing is working the way it should. I have Photoshop CS2 w/Image Ready.
I opened up two little icons saved as .png files in IR and attempted to make just a simple animated icon for practice and nothing is working.
This is the tutorial I tried, that I found in the memories. Animating icons in image ready
I got lost at the dragging the picture part because it does not work for me at all. Actually the whole tut confuses me.
My animation window/menu at the bottom is not blank like hers. It has one of the icons I opened in it. And when I click on the other icon it shows up in the animation window/menu at the bottom.
My layers pallette does not have the empty layers in it like hers does. (The layer 1 with the picture and then there are two more layers beneath it that say layer 1.) How did she get those there? And how did she get the text there? There is no explanation for this.
Obviously this tutorial assumes you have some knowledge of Image Ready because it seems like there is a big chunk of information left out.
If someone could point me to a really simple tut with everything spelled out, like which tools to click on etc. I would be very thankful. Just really simple to get me started. I think once I understand the basic steps and where the menus are that I need to work with I will catch on to the rest.
I tried Googling but it's like the black hole of gobbledy gook. Or maybe I'm just bad at Googling.
Thanks, I really want to learn how to do this.
