How to Make Blinkies

divider

This is a fun one..have you ever seen those little blinkies on the web?  Ever wondered how to do them?

 

This one is using selections from your Alpha Channel, but I think with my screenshots, you will be able to do it in no time and learn something new!

 

I have included the bear and the font I used in my Happy Birthday Blinkie -  Get it here

 

Be creative with this one..after you do the first one, you will have it mastered in no time.  Suz is a great tutorial writer and has good instructions..She has included several blinkies for

you to us.

 

Ready?

 

I used the blinkierectangle 3 from the bonus.

Click on my Blinkie to take you to tutorial page

 

happy birthday

 

After you open the blinkie provided and duplicated -  You flood fill with your color.

 

Now Load the inside selection from the alpha Channel?  Did that lose you.

 

Go to Selections - Load Selection from Alpha Channel

I did add the cutout effect as Suz indicated.

 

After you have it the way you want and have saved as Blinkie 1, Blinkie 2 and Blinkie 3.

 

When you load the selections this time - see my screenshot

 

Click on the the arrow
