*thwaps Imageready repeatedly*

*kicks program*

*throws program out of the window and jumps after it to jump up and down on it*

Why?! Why won't you let me make the icon for eowyn_luthien? Why do you have to be so damn complicated and incomprehensible?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

DIE! DIE! DIE! *strangles imageready*

*sobs* I can't work with it.

I love adobe but imageready is killing me

What I usually do is make the icon completely in Photoshop, overlays and everything, then save as a psd file. Open in ImageReady, duplicate frames as necessary, change which layers are available on which frame, do any tween effects, change the times, and you're done. It means you're not using IR for much other than the actual animation.

Er nice... now if only I knew how to do that ;o)

Just posted a link to an ImageReady tutorial in response to eowyn_luthein which you should be able to see. It's a good one.

Oooooooo!!! Thanks!

(Or you could just click the "switch to Imageready" button instead of having to hunt down the program and file. Neat!)

I can do that with fading text, but how does it work with images? Do you know of any good tutorials for Photoshop/Imageready for making mini movie icons/animation etc.? Adobe is drivin' me nuts... but if I could figure out how to use it I'd probably use it a lot. :-)

Afraid not, I made my base in Photoshop and then did the rest in Ulead.

I've got a version of the icon ready btw. No animation though.

Woo! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! :-D

Yw ;o)

Try this - Animating Icons in ImageReady (http://www.livejournal.com/community/icon_tutorial/3522.html). It's a very good tutorial, and is quite comprehensive.

Ah hmm, did already see it and it didn't enlighten me =oS

[chiroho.livejournal.com]

Really? Hmmm. Have to find another one then. That's the one that just about did it for me.

It made me stare =oD
