How to Create Bubble Animation Using Adobe

Till now we have seen tutorials for still images, in this tutorial we will learn how to animate in Photoshop.

Take a water glass image (free from copyrights) from the internet or download this image I am using.

CLICK On images to Enlarge

Fig1

Now with the help of pen tool or polygon lasso tool, which ever you are comfortable with, make the selection of the water area of the glass as in Fig2

Take a new layer and select gradient tool and select the settings as shown.

Fig3

Now fill the selection dragging from top to the bottom and then change the blending mode to linear burn. We are creating Liquid in the Glass with Bubbles.
Fig4

Now create a new layer and with the elliptical marquee tool make the following selections. These are to draw and create bubble shapes in the liquid.

Fig5

Now fill this selection with a very light shade of red, for example this color code #fff2f2.

Go to the blending option and change the following settings
Fig6

Now change the blending mode of this layer to overlay
Your image now should look like this.
Fig7

Now duplicate the bubble layer and increase its size using transform tool.

Now go to menu Window>Animation and then make 4 duplicate frames. In case your Adobe Photoshop version does not have this option (It will surely have) you can use these layer images in Adobe Imageready too and follow the steps ahead.
