A Photoshop Question

If you mean move up and down on a webpage, I'd suggest doing it as an animated .gif.

I use CS1, which isn't capable of making animated .gifs, but if CS3 can make them then you're good to go.

If not on a webpage, then could you explain a bit more thoroughly?
 
I mean like this

Ah, yes, that would be an animated Gif. If you have imageready or any other .gif compiling program, here's a little walkthrough:

-First, make a new image and crop it to your liking.

-Now make a new layer---let's call it "Boarder"---and draw a one pixel boarder all around the boarder of the image. It will look like it's two pixels thick when you zoom out, but that's just Photoshop's own 1 pixel boarder that doesn't stay on the image after saving it.

-Now make a new layer---let's call it "Text"---and select the text tool. Select the smallest point available and write the word you want in Red font on the right side of the image. You'll need a special font for it to look like that, to find the font in question ask the person who made that userbar. Now resize the text to the size you want it, and make sure to set 'None' as the anti-aliasing method for the text.

-Now right-click the Text layer and select 'Blending Option.' a menu should pop up. First check Color Overlay and for the color use white or any other light color, and after that check Stroke and for the size use 1 pixel and for the color choose black or anything dark.

-Alternatively, you could sprite the text yourself, pixel-by-pixel.

-Now make another new layer---let's call it "sheen"---and select the top 40% or so of the image and fill it with white. Then set the opacity of the layer to around 20-40% or whatever you want.

Now select the image you want to scroll and paste it into a new layer---Let's call it "stupid gang insignia or whatever" and scale it so that it fills the image horizontally and so there's enough room to scroll it vertically.

-You're done in photoshop! Now just import it into imageready, create as many frames as you want---setting the frame duration to around 0.3 seconds or whatever---and scroll the image by about 3-6 pixels in each frame and preview/edit it as many times as necessary until you like how it looks. Now just export it as a .gif and you're done.
 
:/ Doesn't ImageReady COME with Photoshop...? Unless... you're running a not-legal copy or something. >_> I use Photoshop 7, but I don't think they would have taken the button away from the bottom of the tools bar that's used to send the image to ImageReady.

but there's other programs like GIMP or something for anime gifs. Iunno any off the top of my head because I use ImageReady.
 
It still should be in your start menu then, unless photoshop doesn't show there either. In which case you can hunt through your program files and find where you have Photoshop (should be something -> adobe -> photoshop) and in there should be "imageready.exe".
 
Imageready was built into PS CS3 and up.

I use GIMP, so sorry, I can't teach you.
 
in cs3 if you go to widows and check the animation box you can make it that way like how Steampunk Abortions said

holy hell in a handbasket, I really do need to upgrade.

pssh, Photoshop 7 fer life. xD

Didn't know it was integrated though, but it's not like it's a big deal. Still does the same stuff as ImageReady, just makes less windows open. :p
