How To Make A GIF in Photoshop

GIFs never seem to get old, people have been creating and using them ever since their introduction. However creating a GIF is a tucked away feature in Photoshop which isn’t made obvious at first.
Here is a simple GIF I made for the UltraLinx logo.

I was asked a couple of times how I made it, so here is a very quick tutorial. Note that this tutorial is done with Photoshop CS6.

How To Make A GIF in Photoshop

1. Go to ‘Window’ and open ‘Timeline’. You should now see a timeline below your canvas, like in the screenshot below.

2. You want to start adding your content. Then to make the background change like in my GIF above you just put the layers in blocks. You can see I’ve stretched the text block all the way across, this keeps the text shown throughout the timeline. You can use the play button to see how it looks.

3. Once you’re happy with your timeline. Go to ‘Save for Web’. Choose GIF and then choose whether you would like it looping once or forever. And that’s it, your GIF is ready.

Of course you’re not just limited to static content. You can drag video footage right into the timeline if you like.

Use x-ray techniques in Photoshop to show naked skin through clothing

    Do those new naked body scanners have you freaked out at the airports? As far as the TSA is concerned, those x-ray machines are here to stay, but you might as well take comfort in knowing that airport security guards aren't the only ones looking at your private parts. Practically anyone with a computer can manage to see through your clothes, and it's all thanks to a little program called Photoshop. Thanks, Adobe. With a few tweaks using the tools in Photoshop, you can see those boobs in no time, male or female. The video is in German, but it's not hard to figure our what's going on, especially if you're familiar with Photoshop. First, create a few duplicate layers, then get a handle on some of these tools to make the naked body through the clothes: * Auswahl erstellen (Create Selection) * Tonwertspreizung (Input Levels) * Belichtung (Exposure) You can also do this see-through clothing effect in free design programs, such as  GIMP .
