In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you'd rather convert a video to an animated GIF format, see How to Make an Animated GIF from a Video in Photoshop CS5. A working knowledge of Photoshop tools will help you immensely with this method. See How To Use Adobe Photoshop Tools for general Photoshop tips.  Open the “File” menu and click “New” to view options for your new file. Type a name for your animation in the box next to “Name.” In the “width” and “height” boxes, note the measurement types after the value boxes. It's either set to inches or pixels, depending on what you've used in the past. If you feel comfortable specifying pixel size, change the measurement type to “Pixels.” If it's easier for you to visualize inches, choose that option. Type your desired measurement in its corresponding box. Choose a background color for your animation. Click the menu next to “Background” or “Background contents” (depending on your version of Photoshop) and choose from the color options. Click “OK” to create your new image with these settings. Each frame of your animation needs to be in its own layer, so you'll want the layers panel visible. Click the Window menu and check both Layers and Animations. The panels will then appear in your workspace. In the Layers panel, click the plus sign (+) to add a new layer. Next to “Name,” type a name for your layer, such as “Frame 1.” Set the Fill color either to Transparent or the color of your background. Click “OK” to create this new layer. Each element of your animation needs to be on a unique frame. Anything you put on this new layer will animate as one frame. If you want to draw on this layer, choose a color from the swatch panel (the panel with all of the colored squares) then click the paintbrush tool. If you want to add text, click the “T” to launch the text tool. Create another layer and build the second frame of your animation.  If the next frame of your animation will simply be a slight modification to the first frame, you may want to “Clone” your layer instead of creating a new one. To clone the layer, right-click on that layer in the Layers panel and select “Duplicate layer.” Continue creating or cloning layers until you have each individual frame of your animation on its own layer. In the Animation panel at the bottom of the screen, click the icon that is a small rectangle with a smaller square on top of it (the New Frame button). This will create one new frame. Click this button as many times as there are layers in your animation. If your animation will have 7 layers, create 7 frames. Click the first frame in the panel. As you can see from the thumbnail, this frame presently consists of every layer in your animation.  Notice that each layer in your Layers panel has a small eyeball symbol next to it. This symbol tells you that the layer is currently visible. To make the first frame in the Animation panel display only the first layer, remove the eyeball symbol from each of the other layers. Change the duration for this frame by adjusting the time (in seconds) beneath the thumbnail, which currently reads “0 sec.” Click each additional frame and remove visibility from all layers other than the one you want to be visible in the frame. Remember to adjust the time at the bottom of each thumbnail. The Play button is located beneath the animation frames at the bottom of the screen. Click “File,” then “Save for Web and Devices.” Make sure that GIF is selected in the top pulldown menu beneath the word “Preset” and click “Save.”
Summary: Create a new image in Photoshop. Open the Layers and Animation panels. Create a new layer for your first frame. Add your text or drawing to your new layer. Create your next frame. Create new frames in the Animation panel. Edit the contents of the first frame in the Animation panel. Edit subsequent frames. Press the Play button to test your animation. Save the animation as a GIF.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To ensure that the oven is hot enough to bake the carrot cake, set the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and allow it to fully heat. Next, line a 10-inch (25-cm) by 15-inch (38-cm) jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Spray the paper with nonstick cooking spray and lightly flour it before setting it aside.  If you don’t have parchment paper, you can substitute foil. You can use butter to grease the pan in place of the cooking spray if you prefer. Add 3 large eggs to a large bowl. Use a handheld electric to beat the eggs on high for 3 minutes, or until they are slightly frothy.  You can use egg substitute in place of the eggs if you prefer. If you prefer, you can mix the cake batter in a stand mixer. You can also mix the cake batter by hand, but it will require more time and effort. After you’ve beaten the eggs, add ⅔ cup (133 g) of sugar. Beat the mixture for another 3 minutes on high, or until it becomes pale and frothy. Once the sugar is mixed into the eggs, add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix the ingredients in on medium until they are fully incorporated. You can substitute canola or avocado oil for the vegetable oil if you prefer. Add ¾ cup (94 g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon (4 g) of baking powder, 1 teaspoon (2 g) of ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon (½ g) of ground nutmeg, 2 teaspoons (5 g) of ground cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon (¼ g) of ground cloves to a separate large bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they’re fully blended. You can substitute cake flour for the all-purpose flour if you want your cake to have a lighter texture. After you’ve mixed all the dry ingredients together, gradually add them to the wet ingredients. Mix them in on medium-low until they are just blended. Be careful not to overmix the carrot cake batter. If you do, you may end up with tough, chewy cake. Once the batter is fully mixed, add 2 cups (100 g) of shredded carrots. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold them into the batter until they are fully incorporated.
Summary: Preheat the oven and prepare the pan. Beat the eggs. Stir in the sugar until the mixture is pale and frothy. Mix in the oil and vanilla. Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and spices. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Fold in the carrots.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you like working with a larger group to help a diverse number of individuals workout in a safe environment, group exercise might be for you. You’ll want to look for training programs that are geared towards group certification. Most training programs are catered for certification to teach group exercise classes. If you like working with one individual to manage and achieve goals, you should look into becoming certified to teach privately.  Not all pilates instructor certifications will also include specific training on how to work with individual clients, so make sure you look for a certification that also addresses this. Some pilates studios or gyms will provide you with a client list, while others will expect you to build your client base yourself.  You can work with individual clients on the side, if you also enjoy instructing group classes. If you’ve got a background in physical therapy or sports medicine, you may want to look into becoming a Pilates specialist. You can teach courses for those in rehabilitation or for athletes. You can also get certified to teach special courses, such as pre or postnatal courses, without already having a speciality degree. Think about whether you want to be a basic mat instructor or if you’d like to be certified to teach more advanced courses. If you’re newer to Pilates, you’ll be more comfortable becoming a basic mat instructor before tackling more advanced certifications.  An example of a more advanced training certificate would be one that also includes reformer Pilates. If you’re wanting basic training, most training programs are 40-50 hours. For more advanced training, you’ll be expected to put in 500 hours of training.  The higher your level of certification, the more you’ll be paid to teach once you’re hired.
Summary:
Be a group Pilates instructor. Become a private instructor. Work as a specialist. Determine the level you want to teach.
