Hello All, new here but glad to have found this place.
After playing around with some of the tutorials I have come up with a fairly simple wall paper for my desktop (thanks Asher for Tut)
-edit - dial up beware
After creating this in PS I have changed the hue and now have 16 different hues of original image with the aim of making an animated desktop wallpaper so that I get a continuous change through the different colours.
The image size is 1650*1080 by the way.
First attempt was making an animated gif in image ready - over 300 frames and 39Mb gif
Unfortunately the quality of the gif image was rather degraded and the change between frames shows as the next frame is drawn on the screen.
Not dismayed I have now tried making an avi clip - 7min long with Ulead video Studio, with the aim of converting it to a flash movie to embed on a web page and use that as the wallpaper.
This works and gives a nice smooth continuous transition from one image to the next.
However, I have just encoded it to Avi and it is a massive 63 GB
so haven't converted to flash yet. plus have probably not encoded it correctly as it doesn't play in my media players.
So, here I am, asking for your advice. Is there a much easier way of doing this??
Many thanks
