    hi corey,

    I watched your video on creating slideshows using photoshop cs3 but i just can’t seem to make sense of your comment about “holding down the shift key”. Here’s the deal….I have several imagemy files open just like you demonstrated. So my question is how do i get all of the images into the layer section so they all show the way you have them? I’m confused!

    Heeellllpppp!!!!

    Thank you so much for this! You dont know how many times i have searched youtube, google, forums on how to do what you did in ONE video! You are so awesome! Thank you!

    For anyone who i still having problems saving it you need to save it as a gif, go to “File” then “Save for Web and Devices” I made one using cs4 but its the same! THANK YOU AGAIN!

    Thanks a bunch Cory. I blew my brains out with another video trying to do exactly this. Your video is clear and simple and just what I needed today.

    Thanks again,

    I can’t figure out how to do this in CS4. The animation toolbar gives me the pictures in frames instead of the bar thingy

  14. Bev said on — March 9, 2009 @ 8:24 am

    Krista, I had the same problem. Did you happen to figure it out?

  15. Danielle said on — June 23, 2009 @ 2:45 pm

    Do the photos need to be all the same size? I am trying to use some vertical and some horizontal photos and when they transition to the next you can see the one before it in the background.

Invert to Alpha

When working with vector - created art and the source art is unavailable, modifying the art to create a logo can be a pain, to say the least—particularly when it’s flattened and the background needs to be knocked out.  A careful combination of Invert (Command - I [PC: Ctrl - I]), Color Balance (Command - B [PC: Ctrl - B]), and layer Blending Options (Control-click [PC: Right-click] the layer name) can yield simple background knockouts of one- or two-color logos without making a mess.
