I started off with this star picture



1.I made 2 more copies of the picture by going to edit..copy
then edit..paste as new image,then edit..paste as new image again.

2.I now have 3 copies of the star picture.
Open up one of them then goto the picture tube tool,
use the drop down arrow to select a sparkle amd make the size 20



3.Space the sparkles around and place around 10 sparkles onto the picture.
Then goto ADJUST..ONE STEP PHOTOFIX
If you decide to use the photofix you have to remember to use the photofix when you make the other 2 frames too.
If you prefer the pic before the one step photofix then click undo and dont use the one step photofix one either of the 2 other frames.
Now goto EDIT..COPY

4.Now open up the Animation Shop 3
Goto EDIT..PASTE..AS NEW ANIMATION
Then back to the psp 9

5.Now close down the first twinkle picture,
we already have it in the first frame of animation shop
We now have to work on the second image.

6.Open up the second image,select the picture tube tool
and a sparkle then change the size to 10

7.Now space the sparkles out again and make around 10 sparkles on the picture.
If you used the ADJUST..ONE STEP PHOTOFIX on the first frame then use it again now.
Then goto EDIT..COPY Then go back to the ANIMATION SHOP 3.

8.Goto EDIT..PASTE..AFTER CURRENT FRAME
Then back to the PSP 9 for the last picture.

9.Close down the picture that you already worked on.
We already have that in the animation shop 3.
Now to work on the last frame.

10.Use the picture tube..sparkle..and change the size to 15
Then once again space out around 10 sparkles
Use the ADJUST..ONE STEP PHOTOFIX If you used it in the other frames.
Then goto EDIT..COPY..Then it's back to the ANIMATION SHOP 3

11.Make sure the second frame is selected then goto EDIT..PASTE..AFTER CURRENT FRAME

12.We now need to slow the animation down .
Right click on each of the 3 frames and set the timers on 20 then click OK

13.Then goto file..save as..make sure it's gif that's selected then name the animation
then clive SAVE
It will save the picture as optimised,just click next till finish.
When it asks better quality or smaller make sure it's on better quality.

This is my finished animation
I hope this helped you to understand sparkles a little more
