Description: Making one sig contain a few

This is a quick tutorial to teach people how to make a single sig contain a few.
First of all save all the sigs you want as jpg or png with photoshop. Then open a new document in photoshop and place the full sig png/jpg in there as layers. Meaning have every sig as a complete seperate layer.
Now move that to adobe image ready, in imagine ready (make sure your animation window is open) have one of the sigs appear on top, then duplicate the slide and have that sig layer turned invisible. Then duplicate the animation slide again and have that sig layer turned invisible. Do that until you have all your sigs showing at least once.
Now you could or go file>save optimized as and save it, or you could tween it and make it flow smoothly, depends on the affects you want. If you wanna tween it you have to duplicate the first animation panel and move it to the front. Hit the tween button on every animation panel and pick something smooth but fast like 20 seconds per sig.

Saving as a GIF on image ready makes it a really low quality pic:

your having it too fast, increase your panel size

Yeah increase it or put a delay between the sigs...

it's cause of how Image Ready saves GIFs, not how the animation is. The same happens all still pics!!

W8. iM WONDERING THIS FOR MY WHOLE LIFE..
If you saved an image thats format is .pgn, and the b-ground is alpha-chanelled (thing that blend the b-ground when posting) , what if your gonna animate them.? Will the white borders come out?.
cuz the only thing i love best for making GFX is popping out the renders out of the background.
something like this...

Just an exmaple....If you save it as GIF, will the white come out?
Lol. i cant see my name...(its underneath him...)
(testin..)

dude if you take a look at your image there you are decreasing quality because you do not have it still for a split second.
yes might be a lil lower as gif im not arguing that, so try sharpening the image first or something. but shouldnt be that bad.
