This thread is for Photoshop newbie user..
For siggy text animation….
pls use your common sense
this is my first tutorial..

Create a new document…
Siggy size..
Width: 500
Height 150

Click the T icon on the left side of the screen…

Type the text that you want
For example:

Then duplicate the layer by clicking this

After duplicating the layer
Click the layer w/ the text on the right side of the screen
Then use the right click of your mouse..
It will turn out like this:

Click the duplicate layer
After duplicating the layer.. click the 1st icon in the first layer (it looks like an eye)
In referring to this icon:

Once you have clicked the eye icon
go to your layer:

Then click the text icon again and change the color of the icon

After changing the color of your text
click the 1st icon in the first layer (it looks like an eye)
In referring to this icon:

Then click the second layer

Then customize the setting again by clicking the first eye icon and click the second eye icon to remove the eye..
And then you’ll have two layers with different text colors..
Then click the play button.. its located in the animation…

Now you have a blinking text siggy..

here's the final outcome
