The problem is, the more automated a software becomes the less impressive advanced users like yourself and others here seem.  I have the same issue with some CGI software whereby I learned how to painstakingly texture map objects for about a year, and now there is software that does it by a couple of button clicks!

Those new features don't look like anything that couldn't have been done with even the very early versions of PS, however, with them it would have taken hours and the end result could not have been guaranteed.  Very neat indeed.

Hell no Paul we got untill the 04/18/2010 + 2 more submissions, some still have 3! Let's hope inspiration hits us all before the dead line.

Well I have a idea, but don't think I can pull it off :(

May be you can, here it is ;)

The words diasfora.co.uk then like a line of fire like there is gunpowder on the floor  ;D then the words exploded. Then form the diasfora.co.uk header/banner ;)

Then if by magic, diasfora.co.uk goes back together again.  :)

Peace

sounds good Paul but i'm working on something with less moment. I'm not that skilled with animation It would take a huge learning curve and I don't have time any time soon.  Yeah I can animate in PS but it's very basic. I would like to have the time/make time! to learn After Effects. Then I could do some awesome effects in my future videos. Maybe this will become my summer project.......




Cheers Paul

A.E is not too tough but for the best results with it you should be quite adept in Photoshop beforehand.  So you personally have a good advantage already.

Today is the official closing date for the Diasfora Signature competition. Anyone with an entry still to submit should submit it post-haste.
If anyone needs a little more time to add finishing touches to an entry then speak up and I'm sure we could extend the deadline for a day or two.

Cheers.  :)

a few little tweaks would be nice, like the ape seems to have developed a stiff (static) left arm.   I would like to make more of a delay also in the loop.

Be careful of your filesize ABC as although your original 'sparky' sig is under 1mb, the one in your profile that has some easing in the animation is a whopping 3.7mb. You may need to compress it with a gif optimizer rather than AE?
