Animated Golfer Tutorial for Paint Shop Pro and Animation Shop

If you've never attempted to make an animated GIF because you thought it would be too hard to draw the different positions needed to create the animated movement... well, now you can try it. With this tutorial we'll show you how to create an animated golfer from 3 similar clip art images -- no drawing needed! We'll also add some 'in-between' action to the golf stroke by doing some creative cut & paste to the original clip art images.

Although any version of Paint Shop Pro could be used to follow these steps, this tutorial was written specifically for Paint Shop Pro version X and for Animation Shop v.3. We will do all the image editing in Paint Shop Pro and then import image into Animation Shop. The image editing we'll be doing is pretty easy and suitable for a beginner (if you're familiar enough with PSP to know where to find the basic commands and tools). Get started...
