The Photoshop Thread

Photoshop is cool, I like how you can import in video and "rotoscope" them.

What does that mean? If I could import a video and then make the frames.... Wow, I could do one heck of a GIF avatar... Tell me, what is Rotoscope? I must know....

Here is a thread to post about anything Photoshop! Need help making something? Ask for help here! Need tutorials? Ask here! Want to brag about your latest achievements? Bost it here! I want to know whether you can import videos and then make each frame into a layer... I really, really hope so! Cheers!

I believe you can do that in Photoshop.... rotoscoping is drawing over video frame by frame. I think Photoshop has something called filmstrip mode. Let me look that up.....

Cool. I need something to import video into frame by frame to get a complete Avatar Building experience. Right now I don't get that.... So it is kinda hard to make really good animated avatars... If I could import video, then making my Avatar will win for sure... I could make the video so complete... Just imagine... But the layers would be a lot... Oh well.. That's life isn't it?

Yeah. It would look good. I hope those tutorials somewhat help!
