Photoshop 7 Help

[Nuuriell]

Hi.

I'm new to Photoshop 7. I have a few of the VERY BASIC skills with it, but I'm not doing that well. I want to take a font at the size and colour of my choice and make it look like it's dripping blood (an action, I suppose). I would like it to be animated. If anyone has an action I could use to do this with, or knows where I can get one, and could tell me how to use it (and other actions) it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank-you.

Sorry, but you gotta make it from scratch. Simple brush strokes, or maybe there's a special brush somewhere - if you're lucky enough to find it.

Hrm, I know what you're looking for. Go to http://nocturna.net/brushes/ and select "VIBE FX" from the dropdown menu. When the page loads, download numbers 1 and 2 in that brushes set. They should be called "Blood on the Carpet" and "Blood and Prints". I'm pretty sure that's what you're looking for.

He wants it animated though. Not static (non-animated).

The best way to do that is download the brushsets Bimmer suggested, create a new layer and paint your blood. Save the file as a jpg but don't close it. With the blood layer selected, go to Edit > Transform > Scale. Drag the middle, bottom anchor point downwards a little. Save again with different filename. Repeat a few times and you should have (for example) 6 different pictures with different sized blood. Open up an animation program (eg. Adobe Image Ready, Jasc Animation Shop, Ulead GIF Animator) and place each image in a different frame and save as a Compuserve GIF.
