Animating a Globe1. Open your globe and
Shift+D to duplicate. Close original. Using your magic wand
Tolerance and Feather bot set to 0, click the space outside of your
globe. Go to Selections>Modify>Expand>1.
2. Find an image you'd
like to have inside your globe then copy and paste as a new
layer. Move this layer beneath your globe layer. Position it
in the globe how you want then hit delete.
3. You can now add a base
for your globe. Increase your canvas size to give you more working
room. Then paste your base on as a new layer and position it.
4. Now to start the
animation. I'm going to use butterflies to animate my globe, but you
can choose whatever suites your image best. Add a new raster layer
between your image layer and your globe layer. Place your
"butterflies" randomly throughout the layer. Then, click on the
globe layer, click on the space around the globe. Got to
Selections>Modify>Expand>1. Go back to your butterfly layer
and hit delete. Deselect
5. Repeat step 4 another 2
times putting the butterflies in different places each time. You
should have a total of 3 butterfly layers.
6. Now, hide the top 2
butterflies layers. Go to Edit>Copy Merged. Open Animation
Shop and Paste as a New Animation. Go back to PSP, hide the bottom
butterfly layer and unhide the middle one. Edit>Copy Merged and
go to AS pasting after current frame. One more time, go back to PSP,
hide the middle butterfly layer and unhide the top one. Edit>Copy
Merged and go to AS pasting after current image.
7. In AS, Select All.
Right click and change Frame Properties to 25. View your animation
and save.
Hope you all have fun with
it!
