    Nice. With the snow it's a beautiful GIF/avatar. I really appreciate it. I expect another one next year, depending on what my avatar is then.

    Image manip.
    I downloaded an existing snowfall gif. Gotta make sure it's a looped one so there's no jump in the animation.
    Now, you can't open a gif in Photoshop as it won't give you the animation cells.
    So, open it using ImageReady, and then transfer the picture from there into Photoshop... and hey presto, the layers and animation cells are there to be played with.
    All it takes is a little copying and pasting of your Rocky image into animation cell #1.


    I did the same with my current avi.
    Only on mine I've got 2 sets of snow... the small stuff in the background by pasting my avi over the top of the animation cells... and the harder part, was adding larger snow on the foreground by saving the gif first, then reopening it and placing it behind the large snow layers... I then had to play with the timing so that both sets of snow were in time with each other, and there's no jump in the animation.

    Just really thought about my avatar and started wondering how the hell you actually made it snow like that in Photoshop. Well done.

    Right on dude! Thank you. I'll go with the less grainy one, if that's ok, just 'cause it looks better to me. Snow seems to show up fine as well.
