How to "morph/fade" your photos........
• Start with photoshop (should have adobe image ready included in package)
• open 2 pictures: before and after shots,
• edit pics so that the person in them is about the same size in each pic
• on one pic go to "select - select all"
• go to "edit - copy"
• click on the other pic and go to "edit-paste"
• In the file menu scroll down to "jump to - Image Ready" and click
• in image ready find the "layers" dialog box and click the eyeball to disable one layer
• look for the animation toolbar and find the little square within a square icon that says duplicat frame (watch for the popup ballon when you put your mouse over it
• go back to the "layers dialog box and click the eyeballs until the other frame (picture) is selected
• go to the animation toolbar and click on the slanted dots, you will get a new box open that asks for how many frames.
keep the frames between 10 and 20
• go to the file menu and click "save optimized as", make sure it says to save as type - images only(*.gif)
• click save, then go to where you saved the gif and double click it to view.

as a side note you can change the timing on the frames in image ready by clicking on " 0 sec ", change only the first and last frame so the image stays for a sec then goes away, it will transition and pause on the final frame

If anyone has trouble trying this, E-mail me my DH is really good at this , and he said he would do some for ya.

Well I finally like myself enough to write something about myself. I've lost a total of 65 lbs and work out 5 days a week, which by the way I can highly recomend. I feel better than I have in years, and have the energy of a 20 year old (yeah right) I'm on 1/2 the meds I used to be and life is great. I want to thank everyone on this board for their support, you made nthis all possible. Thank you!

Another 5 lbs hit the dust YIPEE.
My work outs have improved greatly too. I now work out for 1 1/2 hrs a day, and is it paying off! I have lost a total of 11 inches since January 22.
I also love what I do for a living. I work for Disabled Student Services at my local Community College. I get to move arround a lot, because my duties include; note taking, test proctoring, working in addaptive PE, and tutoring English. That also means I get to use the gym...no wonder I work out so much!
