so im not sure if anyone here would know--but
i know how to make sigs with animations on them and animated pics on them. my question is, is there anyway to make a sig with both an animation and animated pictures? last time i tried, the time of the animated pics and animation went at the same time :/ so like when the time slowed down for the pics, it slowed down for the animation too.

Help?1 anyone :)

I want to make an animated GIF but the screencaps I have are of poor quality.
But when I change the coloring of one frame, I want it also to do the same to the other frames.
(I opened the frames as layers)
Is there a way to do that instead of coloring the caps one by one?
I use Adobe Photoshop CS3

Thanks in advance!

So creative writing was canceled today. The email was sent at 12:30pm, I believe. I left at about 12:20pm. But I can't remember if I checked my email before leaving. I think I was gonna, but then I didn't.

It didn't matter anyway, since I still had to be at school for the budget panel.

That was an experience. We got there last, but still on time, and it's pre-scheduled, so we were last to present no matter what. Other proposals included one from the yoga club, one from the aeronautics club, and one from the computer club. All of them were asking for much more money than we were.

I kind of wish I hadn't let Dizzy handle so much of it. Not really because she did a bad job or anything, but because I think I was less prepared because I did so much less of it myself. In the end, we were denied out of hand because we didn't meet the requirement that there be seven days in between the proposal and the event (the event is this Friday). I'm mad about this, even though we can appeal it, and I am GOING to appeal it. Mostly because if I'd been more on the ball, I would have gotten this done LAST week, and they might have accepted it. I'm also upset because I let Dizzy write the explanation of the event, even though I know she's not that great at technical-ish writing like that, and believe it or not, I AM. One of the panel members even criticized us for it, saying that the written description didn't live up to what we were trying to do, and just made it sound like a party. It IS just a party, but it's other stuff too, really. And I know how to MAKE it sound like we're doing very serious educational stuff, even when our intention IS just to have fun, eat snacks, and watch anime.

I'm good at this kind of shit. And I feel like I didn't pull my own weight, even though Dizzy is the president and I'm the vice president (and even though I talked just as much as she did).

But it sounds like she's pretty much decided to step down and let me be president next semester. This will be good for both of us, since she will still have authority in club, but just the title alone changes the way I naturally think about the responsibility. Just knowing that I'm down as the president on all the paperwork really will encourage me to research and write up everything MYSELF, and I'm such a fucking perfectionist that I KNOW it's gonna be done right. And I'll fix it if it isn't.

Anyway, I have the option of appealing, but Val, our student life specialist, also pointed out that we haven't spent any of our $75 refreshment budget for normal meetings. You aren't supposed to be able to use that for events, but the event is IN PLACE OF a normal meeting, so we might be able to use that to get pizzas for the party, and spend the $20 we raised from members on ramune, and basically have what we were asking for money for in the first place. HOWEVER, even if that works, I'm appealing this motherfucker. For one thing, I think it would be good for me to learn how the appeal process works, even if they don't give us any money. For another, the director might give us the money even though we missed the deadline, if I can talk it through well enough.

So that's that.

In regards to class... I did the take-home test for psych, and I'm pretty sure all the answers are right, since I could consult the textbook. I still haven't finished the revision for creative writing, since I was kind of braindead. And I passed up an extra credit opportunity in place of tonight's class because I really wasn't up for that, either. Still need to get that paper back tomorrow. I feel like I'm making progress anyway.

I want to be doing something productive now, but there is nothing productive I can get myself to do. Bleh. I would almost GO TO SLEEP, but I'd feel like a loser going to bed at 9pm, and I pretty much doubt I'd fall asleep, anyway.

Tomorrow should be a decent day. It also includes talking to the secretary about the refreshment money, possibly appealing that motherfucker, going to the career center to figure out how to change my major and research, again, which Maryland schools offer secondary education AS A BACHELOR'S DEGREE. Once I figure that out, I need to figure out which schools require which courses for this major, and which of those courses I can take at MC in the spring. Apply for said courses if possible.

Oh, and write a new cover letter and find and update my almost nonexistent resume. I still want to apply for the Potomic Review internship, but there are only three or four intern spots, and a LOT more people are eligible than I thought. I may be fucked. My resume is mostly my skills and education, since I have no work experience where someone actually gave me money. But I'm trying to pass off my student teaching as work experience. Which might fly for an internship that has to do with publishing fiction.

Wish me luck. x.x Or offer to rewrite that bitch for me. Either works.

Alright, so I'm in Photoshop 7.0 working on an animation request for a different site. The animation is huge, at least 6 MB -and I have it all prepped and pretty. So, I go to Jump To > Image Ready 7.0, and I turn the layers into frame. I delete the frames with the background, border, text, and adjustments, leaving me just the animation part. Now, I want to make the background visible for the first frame. I click on the eye- And it doesn't become visible. Same with the border layer. However, the text and adjustments are allowed to toggle between visible and invisible. Is it because the file is freaking huge? Any thoughts, it's driving me mad?

Yeah, soon as nano is over, my consistent posting to my livejournal completely stops. Go me.

So I guess this is an update on the state of my schooling, since the goddamn semester is almost over. I have two weeks left. This coming week is my last week of class, next week is exams, and then after that I am DONE. However, I still haven't started to sign up for classes for the spring semester, and I still haven't made an appointment with my counselor, Janet, to even talk about it. My real problem with this is that I have no fucking clue what to sign up for. I have pretty much all of my basic, core, boring-as-all-hell classes. And I've already done the "fun" things I wanted to do, namely basic and advanced creative writing. I was considering re-doing advanced creative writing, just to have such a receptive audience for my writing...

But I think my professor isn't teaching it that semester, and even if Benevidos does it, I don't know when the fucking class will be and I can't handle another evening class, and I can TELL from things my professor has said that the workshop often isn't this good. I know this from the fact that the 218 workshop was never this good. In 218 I got good feedback on my first story only because Mary took a personal interest and took it apart, and on my second story everyone just "loved it" and didn't have jack shit to actually say. Plus while the pressure and the structured peer critique were very good for me, I don't know if I can handle it two semesters in a row.

My problem with signing up is thus. First, I have to officially re-declare my major to Education before I can even get into a lot of the education courses. Second, where I decide to transfer determines exactly which of those courses I even need to take, and which ones will transfer over to the new school. So basically I don't know what the fucking fuck I need to take. I don't know where the hell I want to go. It looks like Towson, which I pretty much had my eye on, only has secondary education as a Master's degree. That doesn't fucking help me at ALL. I'm reconsidering UMBC in that light, but I really need to get in the career center and figure this shit out.

Blegh. I don't want to worry about it yet, fuck yoooooou so much, school. But some of those classes probably fill up fast, so time to stop being a lazy slacker.

Anyway, current classes.

Nutrition, I am DONE. I did that presentation, and I think I aced it. It helps that my professor sat in the desk next to mine, so when I sat down I could totally see her scoring me. She'd only taken off two points out of one hundred when I looked over, and I sincerely doubt she'll take off more than eight more. So that's an A. Just the final and we are THROUGH. Better not fuck that up, because right now I have a solid A almost definitely.

Sociology. Almost done. I get my last paper back on Tuesday. Oh god oh god let it be good. ;o; My main worry this time is the citations. I fucking know how to cite things. Honest to god, I do. I know how to do parenthetical references. Except I DIDN'T use any, because I also know that with MLA format, if you directly name the article right before you quote from it, writing out the article name is your parenthetical reference. Except that was ALL I did, so there are no parenthesis on any page of that. And even though I swear I did that shit by the book, this worries me. Please, let it be an A. ;_____; After that, I just have the final, which will be hard and yet is something I think I can handle. Bring it on.

(I'm remembering now that, in the past, I still tacked on the parenthesis at the end of every quote. But with the page limit and how much content I had, this made things a good deal shorter. And I am starting to really worry. x.x )

Psychology. I still have to do that "extra credit" take-home test, because that D on that one test is still making me want to rip my hair out. I've never gotten a D on a college assignment. I pretty much never got Ds my entire high school career. This is not sitting well with me. But I'll knock out the test, do the final, and get that shit DONE. I sincerely hope everything adds up to an A. Please? ;___;

Creative Writing. Here's the big one. Major grades include an A- on my first story, an A on my verbal presentation, and a B+ on my written abstract. I believe that averages over 90%. But I still need to get my grade on my second story, and TURN IN THAT REVISION. Oh shit I hope it's not late. I think I have until like... Thursday. I mean she still hasn't had us do our concluding letters... Unless that's due tomorrow and I end up knocking it out in the hour before class. We'll see. I might get a B, but dammit, this is advanced creative writing. That is still a good grade.

That's it. That's where I stand. Three final exams, one revision, and one take-home test. Oh yeah, and that concluding letter. We are almost DONE. I am looking forward to break so much.

In writing-related news, I have been "wasting" all of my creative writing energy on horrible gay RP porn type stuff with Natalie. BUT THERE IS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, HONEST. Seriously, the past two sessions, each of which was off and on for over three hours, did not include porn. There was a lot of innuendo and build-up, and skimpy girl's clothing on a male character, but no actual sex. And there was character development. Liam, my character, admitted two things that I did NOT think he was ever going to say outright. One of which actually hadn't been evident to ME until a good way into the RP. I am very proud of him. And Thom didn't even torment him with it too much.

But next session there will be sex, yes? ;____; Lira needs it. >.>

Also, I have been completely braindead about working on the Zodiac RP. Fuuuuuuck I fail. I'm getting bogged down in the little details. Namely, character relationships. For one thing, I do not trust eleven strangers plus myself to decide how twelve different fictional people know each other in any sort of reasonable amount of time. For another, I need to decide these things MYSELF for the sake of the plot. I think I just need to finish Liam and Thom's massive Christmas scene and get Liam some motherfucking satisfaction, and then I can work on this in earnest.

Yes, I totally have my priorities straight.

How can you do something like this?

I see that it might be two images, with threshold applied to one of them. However, whenever I try threshold it never looks that nice. It always looks scratchy and it's never smooth. Can anyone direct me to a tutorial for this kind of effect?

Hi everyone, I used to have this "guide to color layers" memmed at my journal. Unfortunately, the journal has been deleted, and I was wondering if anyone saved the entire jpeg image?

Or, if anyone has other guides that resemble this, it would be of tremendous help! THANK YOU!!
