How to Make Sprites With Photoshop
Sprites is a process of combining multiple web images within one single web image. This effect reduces the actual size of the image for loading purposes, which makes the image load much quicker. The quicker the website loads, the more traffic it will be able to attract and maintain. This is essential in getting business onto your site and having them return in the future.
- Open Photoshop by double clicking on the desktop icon. Allow the program to load. Open the “Animation” window to begin the editing process.
- Click on the frame icon, located on the lower section of the screen. This will switch you to frame mode while working within the animation window.
- Select the number of frames you want to use for this project.
- Organize the sprites into separate frames. This will give you more control over each frame and allow you to work on specific artwork frame by frame.
- Draw the artwork or animation that you want to create. Continue this process until you complete your desired image.
