1. Open up an image in imageready or photoshop CS3 (I used the picture from the orange gelly text effect).
2. Duplicate the image and lower the opacity to 40% like this and be sure that you have a colored background.
3. Now open up the animation window in photoshop CS3 (window - animation) or if you use imageready it should already be opened. The next step is to insert a 2nd animation frame where you hide the 100% opacity layer!
4. Select the first animation frame again and add a tween with the following settings!
5. In the last step, select the last frame and add a tween again but with other settings of course!
6. After all this save it as a .gif file and enjoy your result (click on the image to see the animation)!
