First, open up your Image. Enlarge the image to get a good view, close-up view of the eyes. Using the “Lasso Tool," select the area of the irises & eyes. By holding SHIFT then selected the other eyes w/ Lasso Tools. Patient & Fully attention are needed. After they are both fully selected, use Feather tool (Alt + Ctrl + D) to smooth the edges, but only a little (around 0.5 – 2.0 is good).


Copy the selected area, and paste it in a new layer. Make sure the new layer of eyes are on the same spot as the first layer.

However, if you want a different colored eye, keep the second layer of eyes in "Normal" mode and go to Enhance in the main toolbar, then Adjust Color | Hue/Saturation. Choose Colorize

Before you begin, you will want to think about a couple of things. What color and size you want the text to be, and what color is the background that you will be putting it on. You will want to match the background color of this project to the background color of whatever you are going to use it with. This is not absolutely necessary, but I think it looks tons better.

• Create a new document of whatever size you want the text to be.
• Select the color you want the text to be in the foreground color tile. I am going to make mine red.
• Select the horizontal type tool, and type your text. I am using a font called Arial Rounded MT Bold at a height of 100pt. Bolder fonts will work better for this, but choose whichever you like.

You should now have a background layer and a text layer


Next you will need to rasterize the type so that we can add filters to it. Select Layer/Rasterize/Type. Now duplicate the type layer twice so that we have 3 layers of the text. Make sure the type layer is highlighted as shown above and choose Layer/Duplicate Layer and click OK. Do this one more time. Highlight the top layer of text, and select Filter/Noise/Add noise. Set the amount to 50%


Then hightlight the next layer, but this time add noise at 55%. On the last type layer add noise at 60%. Now we will add a bit of spice to the text to make it really pop. Highlight the top layer and select Layer/Layer Style/Blending Options. I am going to add a stroke, a drop shadow, and some bevel and emboss using the settings shown below. You may have to tweak your settings a bit depending on the type and size of font you are using.





Next we will need to copy this layer style to our other text layers. Right click on the top layer and select Copy Layer Style. Now right click on each of the other two text layers and choose Paste Layer Style. Now the only difference between the layers is the level of noise.

To create our animation we will need to jump over to ImageReady. Cick on the jump to ImageReady button.
Once in ImageReady, make sure your animation window is showing. If not select Window/Animation.


At this point we only want the top text layer and the background layer to be showing. Turn the other text layers off by clicking on the little eyball on their layers. You should have one frame showing as above. Click on the flyout menu of the animation window and select New Frame.


Now turn off the top layer, and turn on the next layer of text. Add a new frame, turn off the text layer that is on, and turn on the bottom text layer. Add one more frame and use the middle text layer again. You should now have 4 frames in your animation. Hit the play button to see how it looks


Once you have it the way you want, you will need to save it. Make sure your optimize window is set to GIF. If you can't see the optimize window select Window/Optimize. Here are the settings I use.


Now you will need to select File/Save Optimized As. Choose a folder and a name, and your animated glitter text is web ready.

Here is how mine turned out

This simple yet productive set of 12 actions will help you create several common portrait effects, and particularly wedding portraits. The set consists of 11 effects, plus an action with some brief instructions and pointers.


Included in the set is an action to help enhance skin tones, 4 black and white conversions, a dramatic light contrast action, and 5 variations of soft filter effects.

While these actions were made specifically for use on your wedding pictures, feel free to experiment on other types of images as well. Also, you can acheive a wide variety of results by combining these actions on the same image.

The following briefly describes each action:

• "Instructions": Just a few pointers to get you started
• "Improve Skin Tones": This subtle action will accentuate the peach hues in your image, yeilding noticably more attractive skin tones.
• "B/W Conversion (Purity)": The effect results in very attractive, light skin while maintaining a nice contrast.
• "B/W Conversion (Whisper)": Very much a classic looking conversion, the image is given medium contrast with a slight sepia tone.
• "B/W Conversion (Timeless)": This gentle conversion gives your image a soft contrast in the highs, medium contrast in blacks, with barely a hint of warmth. Like a modern image taken using black & white film.
• "B/W Conversion (Generations)": This throwback conversion gives an "antique" feeling to your picture. Complete with sepia tone, grain, and a high contrast in the highs.
• "Dynamic Light Contrast": Find the right image, and this effect will amaze you. It lightens your image, while still preserving a good contrast in the mids and lows.
• "Soft (Subtle)": Attempts to preserve color and tonal range while approximating the look of a soft filter #1.
• "Soft (Normal)": Attempts to preserve color and tonal range while approximating the look of a soft filter #2.
• "Soft (Strong)": Attempts to preserve color and tonal range while approximating the look of a soft filter #2.
• "Soft (Daydream)": Lightens the overall image and applies a strong soft filter effect.
• "Soft (Night Visions): Darkens the mids while smoothing out the highs and applying a strong soft filter effect.
