How to make a blinky (Photoshop7 & Image Ready)

• Step 1 open new page

• Step 2. Most blinkys are 150Wx50H

This is where the fun starts. Take your base and add your background. Then add a new layer (In PS7) and add your text. I find it easier to just place all the items on there own layer. Its easier to edit them. Now depending on what you want your blinky to look like this is where most of your work is.



This is my blinky for this TUT. I made mine simple. It flashes. I saved each layer as its own picture name. as you can see below. I also place each image in 1 file. "NewBlinky" (You will need this info to open it up in "Image Ready")



Once you have all the images ready to work with click the last tab in the side bar to open up "Image Ready"



Ok If you open Image Ready as I did you will have the last open image from PS open here. Go ahead and close that out. Open your folder as frames.



Heres another tricky part for me. Getting the timing just right. Below you see the frame box. It shows where you change the time rate at



this tab lets you copy any highlighted box. As I had to with the black box



Once you have it looking just right, now you save it. REMEMBER TO SAVE OPTIMIZED or it wont be a blinky

Hope this helped!
