Create a magnificent animated lightning strike.
1. Create a new document or open an image.
2. Create a new layer and use a lightning brush to create a nice lightning. I got my brushes from here.
3. OK, now export the document to ImageReady. Click the icon on the bottom of the tool window.
4. Open the Animation Window (Window >> Animation) and press on Duplicate Current Frame and create 4 frames.
5. In the first frame, make the first layer (the one with the lightning) invisible, by clicking on the eye icon in front of the layer. Do the same for the 3rd layer.
6. Ok, now select the first frame, hold Ctrl key and select the second one also. You now must have both frames selected. Click on the tween button, enter 7 frames and hit ok.
7. Now select the third and the fourth frame and add another tween, only this time put 2 or 3 frames. And that’s it.
8. If you use an image, you can make something like this. Pretty spectacular, huh? Enjoy!

Do you want to create an amazing avatar? Do you want to make it remarkable? Then this tutorial is for you. Here I will tell you how to create an unusual effect, bright and eye-catching. Here it is, have a look.
It looks like a never ending approach to the city. It is based on 2 layers, one near and one distant, slightly rotated and magnified, then the color is inverted and layers are put back to their initial position. While inverting the color it is hard to keep everything in its place. So, it appears to be on a permanent approach. But everything will appear in its turn.
First, take two similar pictures of a city at night. I selected a couple of pictures of Hong Kong .
This one will be the background (I'll call it Background Hong Kong)
And this one will be the foreground - (I'll call it Foreground Hong Kong)
Don't worry about different size. The most important thing is that they fit in style and color.
Open the foreground image in Photoshop, and using the Extract Tool cut the front building out of the background. You can learn more about Extract Tool in this tutorial.
Don't worry about perfection when cutting the buildings out - all the defects will be hidden.
Now, open the background image in Photoshop and drag the cut out foreground layer to it. Next, move it to the specified place with the help of Move tool, just like I did with this one:
Duplicate Hong Kong Background and Foreground layers. Select the duplicated Foreground Hong Kong layer and press Ctrl+T. Make the following changes: move the rotation control point to the lower left corner (that one, which is in the center by default), make the rotation angle -1, press the Constrain Aspect Ratio button, and increase the width by 10 pixels.
Do the same for Background Hong Kong, but this time make rotation angle +1. Also you can increase the width by 20 pixels instead of 10.
Now using the Crop tool resize the picture to match the size of the smaller one. You should have something like this:
Now duplicate each layer and invert their color.
Here comes the most interesting part - animation. Create 4 frames in the Animation Panel (3 more than the one you have)
Leave visible 2 initial layers, Background and Foreground for the first frame: (beginning of animation, everything in its place).
For the second frame leave visible 2 initial layers with rotation: Background Copy and Foreground Copy (the city rotates a bit as if we are approaching it).
For the third frame leave visible 2 initial inverted layers: Background Invert and Foreground Invert (the city goes back in its place, but the colors are inverted and the human eye cannot recognize the rotation back).
For the forth frame leave visible 2 inverted layers with rotation: Background Copy Invert and Foreground Copy Invert (color changes back to normal, but rotation has just occurred).
That ' s it . Make the visible 0.1 second and Save the results.

That ' s it . Make the visible 0.1 second and Save the results.
1) Open the picture you want to animate and then copy and paste the image into a new document with a Transparent Layer. I will explain later what this does but it is a very important step.
2) Duplicate the layer of the image:
3) Change the opacity of the layer that you duplicated to 50%:
4) Click the little arrow in the Animation panel and then click Make Frames From Layers. If you cannot see the Animation panel then click Window > Animation.
5) Select the 2nd frame in pallete and click the Tween button. Before doing this, make sure when you have selected the 2nd frame in the Animation panel, only the 2nd layer in the Layer Pallete should have a eye on the left side of it and when you have selected the 1st frame in the animation panel, only the original layer should have an eye on its left. Any additional eyes, just click them to take them away. Eyes = Layer Visible:
6) When the tween screen pops up after you have clicked the tween button, apply these settings then click ok:
7) Click the last layer in the Animation Panel(should be 7th) and then click the arrow and click New Layer as in the screenshot below:
Make sure that when you clicked the frame you just made, only the first layer is visible:
8) Click the tween button on the newly created frame in the Animation Panel and do the settings below. And then click Ok:
9) Make the delay of every layer 0.2 Seconds:
You can end the tutorial here or carry on to Step 10. End it here by clicking File > Save Optimized As and then choosen .gif as the type. If there is no .gif there then you didn't paste the image into a new layer which means you probably will have to do this again.
10) Now, duplicate the layer that was duplicated before and move the new layer to the top in the layers pallete.Make sure that the Opacity of the new layer is 100%. Create a new frame in the Animations Pallete. Make sure that the new layer is the only visible in the Layers Pallete when you select the Frame you just made in the Animations Pallete.
11) Press Control + T and resize the layer to the middle like the screenshot below:
12) Tween the frame with the previous frame using the same old settings.
13) Create a new Frame, make Layer 1 visible on it and click the Tween button using the same settings like you've used before.
14) File > Save Optimized As and choose .gif as type then save it.
There you go, you've got a full finished simple animated product now.

This is what I got:
n this tutorial I am going to show you how to make a userbar and
then animate it with other userbars you create.
Making a userbar :
1) File > New and do the settings below
2) Create a new layer. Layer > New > Layer
3) Choose any colours in the colour pallete. I chose #00a8c6 for foreground and #afafaf for background.
4) Choose the gradient tool
5) While the gradient tool is selected, point your mouse to the top of the document and drag it to the bottom of it so it creates a gradient
6) Create a new document 3 by 3 pixels with a transparent background and zoom into it to 1600%.
7) Select the pencil tool and using size 1, create 3 dots from top to bottom diagonally.
Click Edit > Define Pattern and name it whatever you want then in the userbar document, create a new layer and select everything by click CTRL + A and go to Edit > Fill and choose the pattern you made and click Ok.
You might find it better if you choose to lower the Opacity if you have chosen dark colours like I have. I lowered Opacity to
45% from the layers pallete on the bottom left corner.
This is what I have so far :
8) Now find a subject of your user for example mine is going to be Firefox so I found a picture of Firefox logo and pasted it into my document and resized it so it fit on my document.
9) Now its time to add the text. Use the font Visitor TT2 (BRK) which you can get at :
http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts...TT2%20-BRK-.ttf
My font colour was white and size 14. I added a black stroke of 1px by right clicking the text layer and going to Stroke.
10) Now to add an effect you will need to do the following :
Make a new layer and get the Elliptal Marque Tool and draw an ellips from top left to bottom right then move it up with arrow keys so its only showing half. Click Edit > Fill and choose White and click Ok. Reduce the opacity of the layer with the ellipse so it looks something cool.
11) Now select all of the document by pressing CTRL + A and then click Edit > Stroke. Add a 1px black stroke and make sure that the Location is Inside. Then your userbar is complete.
Now make arround 4 more userbars then we will animate them.
These are the userbars I am going to animate :-
Animating the userbar:
To animate the userbar you will need to do the following :-
1) Open image ready and create a 350x19 document with a
Transparent Layer.
2) Now paste the userbars you made so they are on different layers.
3) Click the arrow on the Animation Panel. If you can't see it then click Window > Animation. Click Make Frames From Layers.
4) Now select the Second frame in the Animation Panel and click
the Tween Button : 
and use the following settings :
5) Go to Frame 8 now and use the same settings for tweening and then for Frames 9 and 10 aswell.
6) Now change the Delay Duration of each Frame to 0.2 but change to 1.0 Seconds in Frame 1, Frame 7, Frame 13, Frame 19 and Frame
25.This is my Final Product :

Render Walk through
|
|
This tutorial is not as thorough as the other tutorials found here on Empire Dezign--hence the word walk through, so your experience with Photoshop is a plus, to say the least. The images of the render has also been reduced in both size and quality for faster load time. Let's get started.
|
|
|
 |
|
To begin, draw the frame of the car with the color that dominates the shape. In this case, the most visible color is what's shown below.
|
 |
 |
|
Next, I drew the basic shapes of the highlighted areas of the object. In some instances, like the front fender, I needed to rasterize the highlighted shape, blur, and smudge certain parts to make it look more believable. In other cases, I was able to just add "Outer Glow" using the same color as the highlighted shape and adjusting opacity.
|
 |
 |
|
I then added the windshield. Zooming in is critical when drawing some of the miniscule shapes. Like on the windshield blades.
|
 |
 |
|
I then added the passenger and driver side mirror. Same process as the windshield, just a smaller object.
|
 |
 |
|
The tires were the most difficult area of this particular project. To create something metallic, yet still make it look believable, is an intricate and time consuming process. In this case, I was unable to keep a lot of the vector shapes. I also used the "Brush Tool" for some of the highlights and darker areas of the hubcap.
|
 |
 |
|
The tread of the tires was much simpler than the hubcap. Here I just created a plethora of lines and gave it an "Outer Glow" of black.
|
 |
 |
|
Here I have added lines for the dividers of the car. For the, lack of a better word, hardware of the vehicle, the muffler and door handle were then added. |
 |
 |
|
The interior of the car was then added. It was mostly made up of easy one color shapes. The drop down roof of the vehicle was created using a mere four shapes. The very top shape had a gradient white to transparent with the opacity turned way down which in turn gave it some depth.
|
 |
 |
|
The shadow of the drop down roof was made in three different shapes. All three were created using different colors or by turning the opacity down.
|
 |
 |
|
The lights were created zoomed in 100%. While creating them it's hard to make any sense of it until you zoom back out. Again, drawing the shapes and adding "Outer Glow" was important for believability.
|
 |
 |
|
The front of the vehicle was created using minimal shapes as well. Gradients were used again as well as "Outer Glow".
|
 |
 |
|
The Results!!!
|
|
I've added a "Drop Shadow" as well as changed the color. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. To see a larger size of the Volkswagen, please click the image below.

Render Walk through
|
|
This tutorial is not as thorough as the other tutorials found here on Empire Dezign--hence the word walk through, so your experience with Photoshop is a plus, to say the least. The images of the render has also been reduced in both size and quality for faster load time. Let's get started.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To begin, draw the frame of the car with the color that dominates the shape. In this case, the most visible color is what's shown below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, I drew the basic shapes of the highlighted areas of the object. In some instances, like the front fender, I needed to rasterize the highlighted shape, blur, and smudge certain parts to make it look more believable. In other cases, I was able to just add "Outer Glow" using the same color as the highlighted shape and adjusting opacity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I then added the windshield. Zooming in is critical when drawing some of the miniscule shapes. Like on the windshield blades.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I then added the passenger and driver side mirror. Same process as the windshield, just a smaller object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tires were the most difficult area of this particular project. To create something metallic, yet still make it look believable, is an intricate and time consuming process. In this case, I was unable to keep a lot of the vector shapes. I also used the "Brush Tool" for some of the highlights and darker areas of the hubcap.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tread of the tires was much simpler than the hubcap. Here I just created a plethora of lines and gave it an "Outer Glow" of black.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here I have added lines for the dividers of the car. For the, lack of a better word, hardware of the vehicle, the muffler and door handle were then added. |
|
|
|
|
|
The interior of the car was then added. It was mostly made up of easy one color shapes. The drop down roof of the vehicle was created using a mere four shapes. The very top shape had a gradient white to transparent with the opacity turned way down which in turn gave it some depth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The shadow of the drop down roof was made in three different shapes. All three were created using different colors or by turning the opacity down.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The lights were created zoomed in 100%. While creating them it's hard to make any sense of it until you zoom back out. Again, drawing the shapes and adding "Outer Glow" was important for believability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The front of the vehicle was created using minimal shapes as well. Gradients were used again as well as "Outer Glow".
