Breathing Tutorial:
First - Select the picture that you want to use and open it in animation shop.
copy it 8 times so that you have 8 frames. (save all)
Then transfer it over to Paint shop.
******************************
Take your lasso Tool and draw a line around the area that you want to breathe. If this is a person, outline the breasts and torso areas.
then go to your layers
selecting one layer at a time starting with layer one, do the following. (repeating in the order below)
layer 1 set punch tool at 3
Layer 2 set punch tool at 6
layer 3 Set punch tool at 9
Layer 4 Set punch tool at 9
Layer 5 Set punch tool at 6
Layer 6 set punch tool at 3
Layer 7 set punch tool at 0
Layer 8 set punch tool at 0
Once you have finished doing this, return your frames to Paint shop and turn your animation on.
There you have it! your animation is now breathing.
BUT! It's breathing to fast you say!
Here is how to fix that....
Go into your frame properties and reset that number from 10 to 28, this will slow down the breathing and make it look normal.
And there you have it!
