-ANIMATED BLINKIES -
In this tutorial you need to download my blinky selection HERE.

Let's get started!

Open a new image 150x20 - Transparent - 16.7 million colors. Click on the "Zoom" tool . Click the image 4x to make it bigger. Now. go to "Selections" - 'Load from Disk" - Select "blinky1.sel". Flood fill with the color of your choice. I used Gray (#808080). DO NOT Deselect.



Go to "Selections" - "Load from Disk" - Select "blinky2.sel". That's for the inside part. Flood fill with the color of your choice. I used Gradient (Metallic). DO NOT Deselect.



Go to "Selections" - "Load from Disk" - Select "blinky.3sel". You will see the little boxes bee selected. Flood fill with the color of your choice. I used Black (#000000). DO NOT Deselect.



Go to "Selections" - "Load from Disk" - Select "blinky4.sel". Flood fill with the color of your choice. I used White (#ffffff). "Select None".



Now it's time to add a text. Click on the "Text" tool . You can use any text you want, any color you want as long it fits in the box. I used Black - Text "AvantGarde BK BT" - Size 8. Put the text on the center. Then "Select None". Save your first work as Blinky1.psp



We're almost there OK..lolz

Make a copy of your first work. Hit "Shift D" or click "Copy" then "Paste as new image". Use your "Zoom" tool . Click the copy image 4x to make it bigger.

OR

You can use the first work you have saved. Go back to "Selections" again - "Load from Disk" - Select "blinky3.sel". We are going to change the color like to the opposite side. Before I used Black, now I will use White. Flood fill it with White. DO NOT Deselect.

Go to "Selections" - "Load from Disk" - Select "blinky4.sel". The same procedure as above. But now I will use Black instead of White. Flood fill it with Black. "Select None" Save your work as Blinky2.psp



Now it's time for the Animation:

Open the "Animation Wizard"...Same size as the first frame (checked) - Next...Transparent (checked) - Next...Centered in the frame - with the canvas color (checked) - Next...Yes, repeat the animation indefinitely - 15 (checked) - Next...Load the Blinky1.psp and the Blinky2.psp



Click "Next" - "Finished". Click the "View Animation"



Then you're done. Save your work as .gif

This is the result:



Hope you understand my tutorial...Let me know if you have any questions.
