Hey Guys and Gals I wanted to show everyone Pivot.
What is pivot you may be asking well its a stickfig animation maker . Not many have heard of it so ill instruct you on how to use it and where to get it.

Where to get Pivot
You can get pivot here:
Pivot
Now download it and install it.

Now that you have it installed it load it and you'll see a screen like the one below:


Now what you may be asking. You see the little red circles click on one and drag it to the right. It moves amazingly. Now click Next Fram and now your screen should look sort of like this:


Do that but this time to the left and click next frame. Do that over and over and then click play to see your animation.
Here is mine i made:

Enjoy and have fun and catch my next tutorial for pivot how to make your own characters in it.

I have not tried mosaics yet but would guess it would be easier to use Picture
Window (PW) Pro 2.5 than either Photoshop 4 or 5. Back in the old days when I was
using Photoshop 2.5 (no layers) for tricolor stacking of images, it was quite
difficult to move and then rotate images to match them up. With Picture Window it
is much easier as the movement and rotation is done automatically. Also the
multipoint registration should help in aligning images with curved fields and other
optical aberrations. Also PW is far cheaper and easier to use when registering
images than any of the Photoshop versions.
Regarding your question, Photoshop 4 has no central pivot point (that I can
see) in FREE TRANSFORM that you can move. It seems to merely pivot at the center of
the image. However, Photoshop 5 does have a moveable pivot point in FREE TRANSFORM
as the article indicates. As is typical with Photoshop they have also changed the
location of FREE TRANSFORM. In order to get there you now click on a selection tool
(e.g. use a Marquee), then EDIT and then FREE TRANSFORM. You will see in the center
of the free transform box a central dark circle with small cross hairs. This is the
pivot point which can easily be repositioned with your mouse before you rotate.

Very nice tutorial there m8, i'm sure it'd help anyone with animation. Ive tried that Pivot program before and its very good Im going to try and get an animation up and running soon so you can see it.
Thanks,
Burgin!

Also snow skating not boarding snow skating like a skateboard but with no wheels rubber grip tape and smooth plastic bottom really fun but no snow all Christmas break im so pissed off.

Nice. I had no idea there was such a program. Now I have yet another way to waste away my Sundays on my computer! Thanks for sharing.

ive done a similar thing in flash. These simple things are so much fun to make! i once had to make a whole stick animation, its hard work (contrary to popular belief) but its worth it when you play it!

looks cool will give it a try later

thats what I got
