Pulsing heartbeat effect

1)Open up The pic you want to use. I'll be using this stock photo of some grungy model-->


2)Duplicate the layer and add a radial blur. Filter>Blur>Radial Blur. Use these settings-->


3)Your pic should look like this.-->


4)Jump to imageready. You can do that by clicking this icon on your toolbar-->


5)Hide the blurred layer by clicking the eye button on the left of it in your layers palette-->


6)Go to your animation frame palette and duplicate the frame.

7)Then unhide the blurred layer by clicking on the eye again.Frame 1 should now be your original image and frame 2 should be the blurred layer.-->


8)Now click the tween button in your animation palette.-->


9)Add these settings-->


10)You should now have 5 frames in your animation palette. Click the frame delay times at the bottom of each frame and set each one to 0.1


11)Press play and thats it!-->

DONT FORGET TO GO TO FILE>SAVE OPTIMIZED AS AND IT'LL SAVE IT AS A GIF

my version: http://i34.tinypic.com/if0jfm. gif =D

This is an amazing tutorial

how do i duplicate the frame at step 6???

absolutely amazing. fav'd

At step four, I don't have the Imageready button.
Is there another way to get to that?
Or does Photoshop CS3 not have that?

really cool.

I GOT IT!...but it dont let me save optimized, it says it will only save as png or html, and it will only save selected from because they do not support animated images...so yeah..

where do i find the animation frames? thats where i got lost .

The link thing didnt work lol so here is the direct link to my creation
