the ever zooming gif
I have been trying to take an image of my daughter and create the zooming effect I've seen where the image zooms into the eye and it's the original image, and so it goes forever, like the Mandelbrot effect. But I just can't seem to pull it off, can't get the smooth continuous effect, it jumps back to the original image. Any ideas on how to achieve this? Cheers k  |

I think you need to stop it repeating its one of the options when set it to run once |

Interesting - I hadn't seen that effect before. First, you need to zoom into her face, not her body. In other words, the face needs to fill the middle of the frame when zoomed in. If your starting image is high enough resolution, you could zoom right into her eye. But in order to get a smooth transition from the end back to the beginning, you need to create a montage with the whole photo inside her eye, and then use that as the starting image. Perhaps cut out her head? That might make it easier than having a whole figure to work with. |

Cheers Steve and Steve for the input. I got this far, will spend some time tomorrow removing the background and maybe blending her face into the eyeball for a less jumpy effect.  |

The animated GIF postcard tutorials at http://russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html may help, especially the one about Havasu falls which shows how to arrange animation cells so that they repeat seamlessly. You will find these tutorials under the CS5 extended heading. It's also worth looking at the other tutorials as Dr Brown has some great techniques even if the presentation style is a bit mad.
