I'm a n00b with graphics so bare/bear with me :p

I'm trying to make a snow animation, since it's winter time. I get the animation to work, the snow falling but the pic is also animated. I just want the snow to seem as if it's falling not the pic or my name to flash, how do I achieve this?
 
shake it baby.. *bump*

I know ImageReady ... no clue about Animation Shop
 
O.K. Jewlezz,

Let's begin. In Animation Shop once you have your image open click on the effects tab.

Gotta go back to work... Be back in a bit. :(
 
Looks like the animation shop is adding a "blank" frame to the animation. Hmm. I have animation shop but rarely use it.IR usually keeps me busy. Ill see if I can do what your tryin.
 
Did you go to effect > image effect to apply the snow to your image?
 
I have 4 images ... 3 with snow, 1 with the pic. I want to animate those
 
Yes but I'd like white snow not blue lol

I want someone to explain how it's done, not do it for me. If it's done for me I'll never know how to do it :)
 
Well, ok, I wasn't trying to do it for you. I just did a quick job just to see if that was the effect you wanted...

Anyway, what I did was not the simplest way I'm sure, but here goes:

1: Open Paint Shop Pro and paste 6 iterations of the Jewelzz pic in there. So, you should now have 6 exact copies of the same pic.

2: Create a new image that is 300x600 (300 = image's width, 600 = your image's height times 4).

3: Using the pen tool, create snow droplets of different sizes, using whatever shape/color you want and fill the big image until it has the snow density you want.

4: Using the Magic Wand tool, select somewhere where there isn't snow. The whole page, minus the snow, should be selected.

5: Now, go to "Selections" and select "Invert Selection". Now, only the snow particles should be selected.

6: Copy that and paste it into the first Jewelzz picture (Edit -> Paste -> "Paste as New Selection").

7: Position the snow's bottom edge to the pic's bottom edge. 1 down, 5 to go.

8: Do the same thing for each of the images, except move the snow down a little each time.

9: Once those are all done, save them all as GIF files somewhere.

10: Open Animation Shop and use the Animation wizard to paste in all those GIFs you saved. Set the speed to whatever you want.

11: Save the whole thing and you should be set. :)

You can create more than 6 images, reduce the amount of shift of snow for each pic, and increase the speed for a smoother animation.
 
Basically that's what I did, in PSP and Animation Shop. My snow effect is different then yours though. But when I go to Animation Shop and animate it, the girl and my name flash as well... I don't want that and that's what I'm trying to figure out

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
