Photoshop :: Replacing Graphics In Animations
Apr 18, 2013
I have just begun experimenting with the animations feature in Photoshop (or maybe it is called timeline). I feel it very useful for animation small sprites for 2D game characters but there is one thing I seem to not be able to figure out and that is how to "replace" graphics? Say for example I have a walk cycle with a character holding a sword. I have layers for the body parts that I move around until I have an animation. It would then be very good if I could just drop in another sprite for a weapon, say an axe and have it replace the sword.
The only way I have been able to do this is to manually remove the sword and place the axe in the exact spot of the sword had, but that is a very clumsy and slow method.

I see that one of the export file formats in X4 (I have CGS) is .SWF, the Flash file format. Can I create Flash animations in CorelDraw using vectors and/or bitmaps (JPEGs) and if so, how?

If I have a bitmap image that has been cropped to an irregular shape (say a star or pear etc) is there any way in CorelDraw to replace the image without having to crop and position the bitmap all over again. I thought It would be as simple as clicking edit bitmap & pasting the new image once in corel photo paint but that does not seem to be the case.
edit: also is it possible to swap the image with a higher resolution version.

I have noticed that when I create animations in Photoshop/ImageReady they have this tattered white fringe around them. It shows up really bad when I display them against a white background.
Is there any way that I can defringe my animations? I know this can be done in Photoshop, however, in ImageReady there is no defringe feature. More accurately quoted, "If there is one it is not in the same location as Photoshop's."

In CS3 I was able to export animations into .SWF files but with CS6 I can't seem to find out how to do this? The only option is .MP4 via File>Export>Render Video but thats no good to me. I've searched high and low for this answer but have come up with nothing!
It needs to be SWF. I've tried to convert MP4 into SWF using a 3rd party software but the quality was shocking and I'm unsure what settings to use for the original animation and also for the converting! Doing it with CS6 is much prefered if possible!

I recently downloaded a trial of Photoshop for my mac book pro, and love it. I have been practicing doing simple graphics etc with textures and templates, but however, i was following a tutorial when it said click 'animation'.
It said it was under 'windows' on the tool bar, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

I am using Photoshop CS3 and have created an animation in which I have exported into a movie w/o any compression.
This animation does contain text.
I am concerned that when this is projected onto a large screen the text will become pixelated. is there anyway to ensure that pixelation of the text does not occur.

I've got the hang of doing animations in photoshop (keeping several images visible for a few seconds each) ... but I don't know how to fade from one image into the next. I've tried overlapping the timeline segments, but that doesn't work.

expierence with PS, but am having a hard time making an animation sig. file, that is high quality. First is it simpy impossible? Below is an example of what it looks like in .gif form. It looks amazing under the original tab, but when I save it or go to the optomize tab its looks retarded. I'm adding a high-rez cut out of a character from a game I play. The only animation I want the high-rez cut out to do is fade out. When I add the cut-out to the animation, it screws all the other images as well, includeing simple lightnigh bolts drawn in. I'll post two examples, one with out the character in, and one with it in. Pay attention to how even things that were fine before, get messed up. Do I need to make my cut-outs a .gif file before even putting them in, does that matter? I'm using Adobe ImageReady 7.0. My optomized settings are: Gif, Selective, 256Colors, No Dither, everything else off or 0. Do I have to save it optomized, file size isnt a big deal.
Files:
(Added .2 delay so its easier to see , lightningbad.gif is with the cut out/bad quality, lightninggood.gif is without cut out/good quality)

I've seen animations that were taken from music videos or movies but not the typical square or rectangular shape but asymmetrical etc. I've even seen an animation shaped like a cloud.
How the heck do I do that? I know how to make animations but how do I get them to be oddly shaped.

I've just bought Photoshop Elements 12 with a view to using it to create simple 2D animations. However, all the tutorials seem to either ignore tihs use or are based on earlier versions and I can't seem to follow them as 12 doesn't work quite the same way/have the same icons/menus. creating/editing animations, or tell me I'm using fundamentally the wrong software for animation and should just give up and buy something else.

I'm creating an animated gif from a video clip (cinemagraph). In order to acheive the effect I need, I need to move each layer with the move tool to get an object to stay in the same position. I have gone through layer by layer and used the move tool to move the contents of each layer. When I play the animation I see the layers in the position I put them in. I stop playing the animation the contents of each layer snap back to their original positions. I have tried using the lock tools (both lock position and lock all) but they don't make a difference. why layer positions would reset when creating animations and how to get it to stop?

I recently updated to CC from CS6 and am having issues when working with PSDs containing video layers, or are set up as frame animations: When attempting to Save As, the dialog will be completely blank except for the Save and Cancel buttons. If I press cancel, then return to Save As, CC then often crashes.
Here is the Error Event from Event Viewer:
Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 14.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5176451b
Faulting module name: MediaCoreIF.DLL, version: 7.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51573a21

Report Id: db6d5f8f-0a0c-11e3-9df9-0026b9cc01d1
So far I am only having these issues if I have been working with video layers and then frame animations. Frame animations in particular seem to cause instability as I can often work with video layers all day without a problem. Then if I import video frames to layers, or open a PSD containing a frame animation, the Save As may not necessarily work.
Sometimes closing and restarting Photoshop will allow me to save again, but then sometimes a whole system reboot is required. It is only temporary though.
I am not running antivirus software or other apps aside from what starts at boot.

I have a picture of a beach and sky, I want to replace the sky with one generated in Bryce, which I have already done.
I used the Magic Wand on the beach photo in order to select and replace the sky but whenever I move the new sky in, it comes as a whole lock and doesn't just show through the magic wand selection I've created. I'm sure there must be a way to "replace" this sky. Can you help please.
Secondly, I'm trying to add a plug in to the filters folder but the Edge Effect I downloaded was a "atn" file, all the effects seem to be "8BF" files, how can I download a plug in, there doesn't seem to be any other "atn" files.

I want to take the sky from one image and use it on another image. I can do this in Photoshop Elements just fine...but can't seem to get it to work in CS3. I open both images and select the image with the sky. I then use the Move tool to drag it over to the image I want to work on. The problem is, it moves over as a very small image and I can't figure out how to resize it. In PSE, it moves over and has the "marching ants" around the edge so I can grab a corner and resize. In CS3, there are no "marching ants" on the edge.

I want to animate components hiding and then becoming visible again. Looks simple enough, I have all the keys placed with the correct settings and yet when I run the animation the objects don’t hide/show. If the object is moving however, the visibility control takes effect, but only while the object is moving.
If I hide/show before or after the motion, nothing but the motion animates. Is there a “Frustrate Dave” button that I accidentally hit or a hidden setting that prevents me from just animating visibility?

I know to the decent PS user this is some pretty easy stuff but with my lack of knowledge and press for time, i need some outside assistance.
I am making some changes to my site and trying to change the text on both a button and the rollover image of the same button. Right now both of them say "Products" but need to be changed into "Solutions"
I'm no PS idiot when it comes to making new buttons but because the guy who orignally made the images only provided me with the .jpeg and not the PSD, i cannot make the changes seemlessly.
Because i don't know how much time it will take to make the changes to both images (they need to be identical in both font style and placement (the "S" in solutions needs to end in the exact same place as the "S" in the oringal products). I am willing to constipate the kind fella who is willing to make these changes. (in USD of course!) via paypal. (If you wish )
I uploaded both the normal button and the rollover to tinypic. Let me know if you need another means of the image.

We are making drawings of a house (plan view) and we want to give texture to floors. We where wondering which way is best (cutting a part of a picture, using mask or using pattern).
But the biggest problem we have is, we want to be able to easily change the chosen pattern with another one. For example we put a picture of tile of 30x30cm on the floor, but the client wants other tiles. How do we change the pattern with another one as easy and as fast as possible, because we have to make 20 different drawings.
We should be able to attacht some kind of file and replace it by another one. Kind of like x-ref in autocad for those who know that.
