There may be a easy way to do this..but this how i do it..if anyone has any easy way ..please share it with us..!!!π
Tried to explain in detail as much as possible..if u still have doubt..then feel free to PM me..i will try :)!!π³
Read my previous tutorial in before page-5 (Gradient fill animation) to understand this better :)
Glitter Animation or Text or Border:
There are two ways to do this and i will be saying both :)
First way:ADD NOISE
Open u r already made sigge on which u want to add u r text(File>Open) or open a new transparent layer to add u r text..(File>New>Width*height>Transparent>Ok)
Now click your "Text" tool or press "T" and placing on sigge,,,write u r text..
U see i wrote "Maan n geet" in first with color blue (and in second transparent one i wrote "Made for eachother" -for 2nd way)
Take Maaneet image..
Now duplicate u r image 2 times Image>Duplicate and name it as "1" and duplicate again Image>Duplicate and name it as "2".U will have three images now..Original , 1 and 2.
Go back to original one..Now selecting u r text layer (on which "T" is there in ur layer box) goto Select>Load selection..
u will see that only text is selected..now goto Filter>Noise>Add noise>(asks to raterize)ok
U will get a pop-up box now select these options.. -
Amount: 20 |Distribution : Uniform |Tick - Monochromatic >Ok
If u want u can add effects here Layer>Layer style>Blending options
Tick "Dropshadow"|Tick "Stroke" - size:2,Color:Black>Ok
I have also added a yellow color border as u have seen..for that goto layer>New layer and then Select>All(Ctrl + A) and then goto Edit>Stroke.U will get a pop up box..select these options
Width: 8 |Color :Yellow |Location:Center|Blending mode:Normal|Opacity:100%..click OK
U will see the border around the image..Select>deselect (Ctrl+D)..marching ants will dissappear.
Now Click "Magic wand tool"(press "W" - make sure its "magic wand" and not quick selection by right clicking it) and click on the yellow border...u will see only border is selected.. Repear what u have done with text
Goto Filter>Noise>Add noise>ok
U will get a pop-up box now select these options.. -
Amount: 20 |Distribution : Uniform |Tick - Monochromatic >Ok
U can also see i have added pink stars and sparkles..those are just brushes..
Goto Layer>New layer ..now goto Brush (or Press "B")and select a Star brush (select color PINK)and click at two random places ..now take a sparkle brush (select color white) and again click at two random places..
Lastly..Layer>Merge visible
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Repeat with 1 n 2 but changing NOISE amount to 30 n 40 respectively.-read in detail down ]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go back to second one -"1"..Now selecting u r text layer (on which "T" is there) got Select>Load selection..u will see that only text is selected..now goto Filter>Noise>Add noise>ok(if it asks to raterize)
U will get a pop-up box now select these options.. -
Amount: 30 |Distribution : Uniform |Tick - Monochromatic
If u want u can add effects here Layer>Layer style>Blending options
Tick "Dropshadow"|Tick "Stroke" - size:2,Color:Black>Ok
**(one more easy way is choose the original image in which u have added effects ..right clicking on text layer choose "Copy Layer Style" and come to 2nd one(1) and right clicking on the text layer click "Paste layer style")
I have also added a yellow color border as u have seen..for that goto layer>New layer and then Select>All(Ctrl + A) and then goto Edit>Stroke.U will get a pop up box..select these options
Width: 8 |Color :Yellow |Location:Center|Blending mode:Normal|Opacity:100%..click OK
U will see the border around the image..Select>deselect (Ctrl+D)..marching ants will dissappear.
Now Click "Magic wand tool"(press "W" - make sure its "magic wand" and not quick selection by right clicking it) and click on the yellow border...u will see only border is selected.. Repear what u have done with text
Goto Filter>Noise>Add noise>ok
U will get a pop-up box now select these options.. -
Amount: 30 |Distribution : Uniform |Tick - Monochromatic >Ok
U can also see i have added pink stars and sparkles..those are just brushes..
Goto Layer>New layer ..now goto Brush (or Press "B")and select a Star brush (select color PINK)and click at two random places but not WHERE U HAVE CLICKED LAST TIME..now take a sparkle brush (select color white) and again click at two random places but not WHERE U HAVE CLICKED LAST TIME..
Layer>Merge visible
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go back to third one -"2"..Now selecting u r text layer (on which "T" is there) got Select>Load selection..u will see that
only text is selected..now goto Filter>Noise>Add noise>ok(if it asks to raterize)
U will get a pop-up box now select these options.. -
Amount: 40 |Distribution : Uniform |Tick - Monochromatic
If u want u can add effects here Layer>Layer style>Blending options
Tick "Dropshadow"|Tick "Stroke" - size:2,Color:Black>Ok
**(one more easy way is choose the original image in which u have added effects ..right clicking on textlayer choose "Copy Layer Style" and come to 3rd one(2) and right clicking on the text layer click "Paste layer style")
I have also added a yellow color border as u have seen..for that goto layer>New layer and then Select>All(Ctrl + A) and then goto Edit>Stroke.U will get a pop up box..select these options
Width: 8 |Color :Yellow |Location:Center|Blending mode:Normal|Opacity:100%..click OK
U will see the border around the image..Select>deselect (Ctrl+D)..marching ants will dissappear.
Now Click "Magic wand tool"(press "W" - make sure its "magic wand" and not quick selection by right clicking it) and click on the yellow border...u will see only border is selected.. Repear what u have done with text
Goto Filter>Noise>Add noise>ok
U will get a pop-up box now select these options.. -
Amount: 40 |Distribution : Uniform |Tick - Monochromatic >Ok
U can also see i have added pink stars and sparkles..those are just brushes..
Goto Layer>New layer ..now goto Brush (or Press "B")and select a Star brush (select color PINK)and click at two random places but not WHERE U HAVE CLICKED LAST TIME..now take a sparkle brush (select color white) and again click at two random places but not WHERE U HAVE CLICKED LAST TIME..
Layer>Merge visible
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
U can also select different options for NOISE (try to use less than 100 in amount)..if u want the same color(i use blue n yellow color..) to sparkle then use these..otherwise sparkle will be very much blurry.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now..u have three images..Now select "1"(second copy),choose Move tool(or press"v") and drag the 1 on the "original image" but IMPORTANT while dropping on the original image - PRESS "SHIFT" so that it comes correctly on the top of original image..repeat it with 2 also..
Now u will see u will have THREE layers in the layers Palette - circled in green (windows>Layers or F7)
Now u need Animation so goto Window>Animation(circled in blue)..U will see there's only 1 frame named "1" and other's are empty but we need three frames each for one layer..so firstly we will duplicate - see the button circled in "Red" that is duplicate button..press it two times..u will see 2 frames are added but now we still have to connect the correct frames with
correct layers..for that we need to toggle with visibilty..the "eye" seen just side of layer...just click it -eye will not be seen-it will be "off" and press it again it - eye will be seein - it will be "on".(circled and named -"eye-visibilty")
Now we need to connect first frame with original one(named background)[1st frame - press eye for background/original image and remove eye for others]
and second frame(2) with layer named "1" [2nd frame - press eye for layer 1 and remove eye for others]
and third frame(3) with layer named "2" [3rd frame - press eye for layer 2 and remove eye for others]
That's it u r done..now click play button n see u r animation..and if u feel the animation is going fast then select all frames and delay it to 0.1 sec (see before tut in page to know how to do this)and set it to "Forever".
Lastly save it..
File>Save for web and devices
On right select these options
GIF | Selective |Diffusion |Tick Transparency |No Transparency Dither|Matte :None
On the Down Right u will see "Animation"
Looping options :Forever
Save>Give a name>Save.
(These options can be changed depending on u r image)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second Way:GLITTER FILLS
Ever heard of Glitter fills?Its an easy option when compared to above..
Firstly goto this site (or just google"glitter fills" u will get mannnyy..π)and save the glitter fills..they will be >GIF format
Glitter fills are of different types - single colored,multi colored with different shapes/patterns in it too(what color u use for text or border or brush is "not" relevant as this glitter fills will overlap them) or Tranparent colored(what color u use is important as these are transparent)..it will have 3 frames(or more sometimes)which by moving will give sparkle effect..so we need to fill each frame in each image and animate them instead of using NOISE in the previous way..
Goto Window>Animation
File>Open>Glitter fill where it is located..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If u are not able to open gif files or are being able to see just ONE frame in animation box ,then do this..
Choose File Import Video Frames to Layers
U will get a pop-up box "LOAD",goto location where u r glitters are located..u will be not able to see them..don't worry..just type its name - " 1.GIF " in the File Name..where 1 = the name of the glitter file name (EG:If ur glitter fill name is "23" then write "23.gif" or if it is "gf_12" then write "gf_12.gif"..so better remember the nameπ)and press Enter or click Load.
(IMPORTANT:Make sure u have "QUICKTIME PLAYER" installed.)
Now u will get a pop-up box"Import Videos to layers" just click "OK(make sure it is selected "From beginning to ending" and all others are "UN"CHECkED..we don't need them)
U will see that there are three frames in Layer but only one frame in Animation box..again we need to toggle with visibilty..
Duplicate the frame two times and connect 1st frame to layer 1 (click first frame n eye for only first layer)and 2nd to layer 2 and 3rd frame to layer three(as shown above)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Image ready users:
Just Open (File>Open)them in Image ready and then bring to Photoshop File>Edit in Photoshop.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now..Click on first (1) frame in Animation box and goto Edit>Define Pattern -give a name which is easy to remember like i used red so -Red glitter fill 1>ok
Now repeat it with 2 and 3 frames and name it as Red Glitter fill 2 and Red glitter fill 3
Add as many glitter fills as u want in the same way..
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now..Open u r already made sigge on which u want to add u r text(File>Open) or open a new transparent layer to add u r text..(File>New>Width*height>Transparent>Ok)
Now click your "Text" tool or press "T" and placing on sigge,,,write u r text.."Made for eachother"(in my case)
Now duplicate u r image 2 times Image>Duplicate and name it as "1" and duplicate again Image>Duplicate and name it as "2".U will have three images now..Original , 1 and 2.
Go back to original one..Now selecting u r text layer (on which "T" is there in ur layer box) goto Select>Load selection..u will see that only text is selected.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its almost same as above instead of using noise we will be using..
Layer>New Fill Layer>Pattern >ok - Select "Red glitter fill 1">ok
Now repeat it with 2nd image (Red glitter 2)and 3rd image(Red glitter 3)
U can also add borders/brushes and gitter them..(as above )
U can add effects too(see above)
Just instead of using Noise we are using Layer>New Fill Layer>Pattern>ok - select saved glitter fill)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Open u r image or a transparent file..
Add what ever u want in "DIFFERENT layers" (Layer>New Layer)like Text in one layer,Brushes in 2nd layer,Border in third layer etc..
(DON'T MERGE OR FLATTEN THEM ***)
Then duplicate the image twice(Image>Duplicate)
Goto original image and select one layer and then Select>Load selection..now fill the glitter(or noise) by Layer>New Fill Layer>Pattern>OK>Glitter fill 1 and repeat with other 2 images(Glitter fill 2 and Glitter fill 3)..and repeat it with other layers...
Lastly Merge them individually and drag them on each other(Press "SHIFT") and then toggle with visiblity and save it!!
It's a bit confusing ..tried hard to explain..still any doubts..ask me..
It takes lots of time to write a tut and i have no idea if it is helpful to anyone or not..so please press "LIKE" button if it is helpful..
Good wishes..
