HOLIDAY TAG
Step 1 Open up the psp or psd image. Go to View/Normal Viewing. You will see 10 frames. Click the Control and A keys to activate all the frames. Step 2 Before we continue to save the animation, let's first click the Customize button to make sure you have all the correct settings for this animation. Click the Customize button and you will see two tabs: Colors and Optimizations Here is what each setting should be under the two tabs: Colors 255 Colors, Optimized Median Cut and Error Diffusion should be checked. Optimizations The middle three selections should be checked. The top and bottom selections - unchecked. After
customizing all the animation settings, click Ok and click Next and you will get
the following screens: Step 3 Make sure to save your image as a gif file. You will now have your basic tag WITHOUT your text. Step 4 To add text, go to File/New. For Animation Properties make the width and height 300 and have transparent checked. Left click the text tool and when the text entry box opens, select your text and font size (probably around 28), type in your text, and click ok. Step 5 Make your text file active and go to Edit/Copy. Now go to Edit/Propagate Paste. Left click the control and A keys to activate all the frames in your holiday tag file and go to Edit/Paste into Selected Frame. Holding down the left mouse button, go to the very first frame, go to the round tag portion, and release your mouse button. The text should now be in all the frames. If the propagate paste did not work (and sometimes it does not, for whatever reason), repeat this step again. Resave your tag with another name. Doing this method, you can offer tags to multiple people without having to do each tag from beginning to end. We hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Purrs, Nikki, Nichie and Sue
