Since I&#8217;ve moved over to the full version of Photoshop I can do so much more. (I apologize for the slight background image bump on animation frame #3. \u00a0I tried to fix it, but finally gave up.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>GIF #1: DS106 Joins The Rebel Alliance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are three moving animations In this GIF. A feat too time consuming and technically difficult to have produced with Photoshop Elements.\u00a0All those merging of layers just to get an idea of what I had would&#8217;ve been a nightmare. \u00a0[See earlier post:<a href=\"http:\/\/rockylouproductions.com\/blog_wp\/2013\/08\/03\/groom-gif-space\/\">\u00a0Groom &#8211; Outta This World<\/a>]\u00a0In the full version I can maintain all layers and view work in progress by simply selecting and deselecting layers for each animation image. The bouncing globe only required a capture of Vader&#8217;s front fingers to be placed as a layer over the globe when in the palm of his hand.\u00a0What was tricky here was getting Dancing Groom and the DS106 Space Shuttle to align properly as they moved across the screen. Timing, spacing, positioning, etc. But again, through the wonders of really nice (and unfortunately expensive) software it wasn&#8217;t a chore &#8211; just a little fiddling around.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GIF #2: What Really Happened to Humpty Dumpty<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been downloading images from Microsoft Clip Art lately and would often see animated GIFs that I thought would be fun to use in projects. \u00a0But I couldn&#8217;t get them to load into Photoshop as layers because the files are what&#8217;s called Indexed color mode and they need to be in RGB. \u00a0You&#8217;ll never believe how easily I got around this technical difficulty.
