Guys, I am wondering how to make a circle gif, rounded corners and a photo frame effect on the gifs I create. Please help.. I use CS6. Plus I have a Mac.

[Tina]

I hope someone helps you; sorry I'm not much of help... perhaps ask an animated icon maker?

[paper rings]

Ok that's fine.

You mean a gif in a circle? If so, select all the layers of the gif and put them in a group (select > all layers; layer > group layers). Now choose the shape you want to "give" to your gif, in this case you need the ellipse tool. Draw the circle on the top of the gif and rasterize this layer. Next add a layer mask to the group of layers you've created before (third button on the layers palette, or layer > layer mask > reveal all). Get back on your rasterized circle and with the magic wand select outside the circle, then get back on the white layer mask of your gif group (be careful to select the mask and not the group or it'll seem it won't work) and with a back brush delete the part you've selected earlier - you'll see you will delete the parts of the gif are not in the circle. Delete the circle and that's it.

I don't know if anyone here would find it helpful, but someone asked me for this so. It's really just the basics though.

to extend on that a shorter way is to great the group then use the eliptical marquee tool to make a circle selection and then click the mask button on the group. When you put the layers in , if it looks like the middle is empty but the outside of circle is filled with your layers then just click on the group layers mask and invert it.

Does anyone know any good texture tutorials? I've been trying with textures for years and when I do them they just don't look that good. So I'm not sure if I'm doing them the right away.

[Tina]

This is pretty awesome, Lindsey. Maybe this will help you.
