Photoshop for Architects: CS3 Extended Edition

Module 6 - Animation and Video Mac & Windows

Explore an entirely new dimension in Photoshop—time. Learn how to create frame-by-frame animations and/or keyframe smooth transitions on CS3 Extended's new timeline. Animate 3D layers, title text, smart-object sub-animations, and more. See for youself how to make layers pop with moving masks, layer positions, changing opacities, and animated layer styles.

This module contains 24 high resolution videos running 1.5 hours overall. I explain each concept and technique using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended, although many of the concepts and techniques are applicable to other versions of Photoshop. The videos are captured right off my screen and you can hear my audio commentary.

The installation process is simple - on Windows you download and run a small install program and it will pull down and install all the videos for you. Mac users will download and mount a .dmg disk image and double click the installer. The Quicktime videos are launched through a web interface that lets you keep track of where you are in the module.
