Hi,
Does anyone know the App that created this Blinking Watermark.:)
I quite like it......

That's an animated GIF, just Google for "animated GIF" for tutorials on how to make them.

The top 3 choices would be Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Gimp. Googling for a blinky tutorial using one of these terms might narrow the field for you a little.

Appreciate your replies Antibaseball and raeanne.
:rolleyes: .....Sorry I didn't make my post clear at all.
What I should have said was......I like that Blinking Watermark and I'd like to use the actual Watermark itself for gifs on my own site.
So it's actually the Watermark program I would like to get hold of.
I have Watermark Pro but it won't make watermarks that blink.
You mentioned Photoshop raeanne, do you mean Photoshop can create a blinking watermark?
Cheers. :)

Acually it is Image Ready which is a part of Photoshop that makes it blink. I am not familiar enough with Photoshop to explain...but it's very easy to do in Paint Shop Pro/Animation Shop.

That's very handy information reanne.
Thanks for your time and for the information.
Have a good week-end.

Basically you have your image and then create a text layer over it. Then you jump to image ready and have one frame be without the text layer [just click the visibility eyeball] and then make a new animation frame and then click the visibility layer again to turn the text layer on. If that makes sense.
Though I don't suggest using a blinking sample if you're doing a professional graphic....someone could easily save the .gif and open it in image ready and take out the text...or they could just screen cap it with the right timing. Your best bet would just make a white text layer and crank down the opacity.
