Pretty good tutorial. It is, however, very basic and doesn't really cover everything. But I'm sure everyone got the gist of it. Maybe when you have the time, you could put in a little more detail. Thanks for the tut!

Is this the same when you want to make pictures "shine" too?

Good tutorial, however it's easier & better practice to use the timeline rather than frames.

Thanks for this I never competed a successful animation. I'll be sure to PM you with any questions. I actually have a premade one and I can send you the psd, when I find it. Then you can tell me what I screwed up on.
