play around on it. at first, you dont even need to keep anything, just play with the settings, effects and stuff. tis how i learnt.. and ive only had photoshop less than a year.
used to use paintshop pro.. which looking back is a load of shite dressed up in an .exe

me couldnt work out how to create animations in Photoshop/Image Ready, so i used Ulead GIF Animator instead, and created this in approx 2mins:

GIF Animator is soooo easy to create stuff like that, just start a blank animation with the size you need ( i used 75x75), select Banner Text, select the colour, font size etc, type in what u want it to say, then select what effect you want it to do and over how many frames (i used a left scroll over 10frames), then select any neon effect you want (i used an inside neon), and you can click Preview to test it before you go ahead. Simple![/img]
