Creating an Animated Smiley in Photoshop - Step:2 of 3

[maw88ify]

this seems like over kill if you ask me. You a using a 700 dollar program to make a Smiley face. You could have simply use free software like GIMP , or Inkscape to do the same thing, and this way every one could fallow a long with your video .

@maw88ify Hello and thanks for your response. While I agree GIMP is a nice free program to use, most people I talk to use Photoshop. I was asked to do this for Adobe Photoshop for a class project. While Adobe IS expensive, it is still one of the leading programs today that most people seem to use.

@Hyperspazzman I believe more people need to support free , and open source software.That's why I use " Linux Mint " . My point is why not make video's with software everyone can afford ? Like free art programs Blender 3D 2.5,Pencil 0.4.4b, Inkscape , Scribus, GIMP, Mypaint free music programs Audacity, LMMS, hydrogen Drum-machine are all great .

@maw88ify I do agree with you on that Maw88ify. I love Audacity and blender. I used GIMP a few times, and it is a great program. The other programs I am not familiar with sorry. Oh well, this was a class project and asked for me to do that is why I did it in photoshop.

@Hyperspazzman Oh yeah also too if your complaining about how I should have done it on GIMP, then why were you viewing my video anyways? Seems a waste of time for you to watch a video if you don't have Photoshop. So, wouldn't it make more sense for you to search for GIMP videos?

[maw88ify]

@Hyperspazzman I do have Photoshop that I downloaded the trial and cracked it, but that's not the point. The point was I was looking for Photoshop, but this could have just as easily been done in Gimp. Look up videos called "Chaos and Evolutions" on blender3d. org web site.

How do you select multiple layers>?

[Hyperspazzman]

@screwehow To select multiple layers on Mac. Hold down 'command' and left click on the layers you want to select.

On Windows I believe its CTRL and left click on the layers you want selected.

[Hyperspazzman]

@screwehow On windows I believe it's CTRL or ALT key. One of those two. Just hold down that key and left click once on the layers you want to select.

[Hyperspazzman]
