I am going to guess how you did it, tell me if I am right.

Ok so you made a complete star filled background the size of the image. You then removed the image and the surroundings turning the star background into an outline. You then moved it up, left, right, down or any combination of those 4 and repeated the process.

You did all of that what appears to be two or three times and made it into a gif.

it alright..... what he did is use a picture with white stroke on it first then place the picture on the star background go to Selection>Modify> Expand and expand about 3 pixels on the picture he pick....then hold Ctrl or Cmd key... click on the layer picture to select it... then Ctrl+Shift+U or Cmd+Shift+U to inverts the selection and hit delete to delete the picture that dont need....... keep repeat the step and find a good position to place on the star background.... just like you say Isick

Battery- Basically you got it, but I wanted to post what I did just to show a little bit of a different way to get the same result.

Beforehand, I made a 100X100 image and duplicated the layer 2x to give me 3 layers. I found a brush and filled the canvas with white stars on transparent background. I repeated on each canvas. Then, I made patterns out of all 3 of them. Note: I had to make sure the pics were RGB and not Indexed. RGB will make a transparent pattern, and Indexed won't...I don't understand it, I just went with it.

So now, I took a picture of asshole, placed it under Calvin, merged the layers, then did a Selection>Modify>Expand for 3 pixels and filled w/white to give the stroke. I did a Selection>Modify>Expand now for 5 pixels. I created a new layer and put behind Calvin. I selected that layer and filled w/black, and it filled everything inside the "5px Expand". Now, I duplicated that layer 2x to give me 3 total. I changed the black to whatever I wanted....a grey/silver gradient, and then did a Pattern Overlay. I repeated for each layer, and saved as 3 different .png files...each one showing a different pattern overlay. I stuck them in Easy Gif Animator, because I can't figure out how to make a .gif in ImageReady, and there you have it.


About ImageReady: I can import the layers from Photoshop, add the time or delay for each animation cell, but I can't figure out how to save as a .gif. I only know how to Export Layers as Files, or Animation Frames as Files. Help

First, you need to Google "Glitter Tiles" and get some. I found black tiles w/white glitter. The reason is this: I opened the glitter.gif in a gif editor and broke it down into its 3 pictures. I opened each of the 3 pics in Photoshop and used the Magic Wand to select all of the black...then I deleted it. So what I had left was 3 transparent pics with white glitter on them. Make sure the pics are RGB, and not Indexed. If they are, just change it back to RGB. Make each picture a Pattern in Photoshop. Now you have 3 new transparent patterns. Make whatever you feel like making. The layer that you are going to glitter, you should make 3 copies total of that layer. On each layer, do a Pattern Overlay and choose 1 of the 3 patterns. Do that for the other 2. Now turn off Glitter Layer 2 & 3, and Save As a .png. Turn off Glitter Layer 1, turn on Glitter Layer 2 and repeat. Repeat again for Glitter Layer 3.

Now you have 3 pics that look the same, except for the layer that has the glitter. Open your gif editor, bring those 3 pics into it, and set your delay. Only the glitter appears to have motion.

Hope that helps.
