Photoshop Pan



In order to program a move get the pan to the correct size (h 6.5  x w11.75).  Get the Canvas size correct, then you can program your Pan Move.


Problem:

If the Pan is (h 9 x w 25), how do you get it to the correct size if the numbers start at zero?  Final Size need to be (h 6.5  x w11.75) to match the other scenes.

2.5 x 13.25 subtract these two numbers from you large pan.

Hint: You must change the numbers in the CANVAS size the DOCUMENT size will squash the image.

12:47
If you just plug in numbers you will add that much all around the image!

12:48
If you subtract the wrong numbers you will result with the same wrong answer.

12:50
Put in the correct numbers in the wrong spaces you will get the wrong size.

12:53
The size finally looks correct . . . now make your Pan Move

12:54
You must "LINK" all Layers. . . which I have.

12:55
"Scale" down the entire pan in order to see as much of the image as you want.

12:59
Okay so it's working now the problem is, how many increments do I move each background in order to see it move "slow and smoothly"

Exactly one hour and a half later after moving the pan (4 pixel right) for 120 frames set on (01 secs.) I am done. The pan moves slightly slower than needed but I won't know until after I add sound and even then I can easy change the speed where as shooting this traditionally you'd have to repeat the entire process!
