1. I setup a new page in photoshop. The size for the page is 788 pixels by 576 pixels on a transparent layer.
2.Next i drew a circle using the elliptical marquee tool, holding down the option button to create a circular selection. Then fill it with colour.
3. it looked like this after i created the circle.
4. Then i duplicated the layer on the layers panel by pressing command + j on the keyboard
5.The duplicated object is over the original. Move it slightly with the move tool.
6.Using the transform tool (press command + t on the keyboard) squash the shape slightly. It should look like the screen shot below.
7. i duplicated the squashed layer and then edited the shape a little more. This will be used when the ball hits the ground. Now there are three layers.
8.Next i opened up the timeline and created a frame animation.
9.turn off the two layers with the squashed balls.
Great. This is the way to make the bouncing ball. How about posting the sequence you made. Did you manage to get the ball to look real? Steve
