Create animated emoticons with Photoshop in 10 Steps

Thanks to the emoticons, conversations in chat programs are more entertaining. They come in all shapes and colors, but there is always someone missing. Where is the you would use to express that are knocking at the door as you raise an eyebrow and you drink coffee?
In such cases, better roll up and make them yourself. Let's see then how to make a simple smiley Adobe Photoshop. The process is quick and simple:

1. New file in Photoshop

Create a new emoticon begins like Photoshop to create anything else: File> New. Here, all you have in mind is the maximum size of animated emoticons for Messenger, which is 50 x 50 pixels. Thus, it is best to do your animation to the resolution to prevent the image scale Messenger account (it would be much worse).
The other options are fine as they appear. If anything, you want to change the background color to Transparent.

2. Prepare your initial image

If you are an artist's pen or mouse, you can put to work. In my case, I decided to build on an existing image: Updated logo. I've trimmed and adapted to fit in my new file of 50 x 50 pixels. It is also in a separate layer and not the background.

3. Create a layer for each frame

After that, you can start with your creation. You must apply small changes to the original image, the best way is to duplicate the layer and change it.

4. Edit the layers that will frame

Now that you have two layers, you can edit them. In my case, I'll make the logo in an agile juggler, so I changed the position of the ball "fat." This amendment is in a separate layer is that, remember, each frame must be a separate layer.
You can create as many layers (which are then frames) as you like, but keep in mind that the animated GIF can not occupy more than 150kb: is another limitation of Windows Live Messenger.

5. Create animation frames

Once the layers are ready, it's time to turn them into frames. To do this you need the animation window (Window> Animation).
By default only include a frame. Click the Duplicate Current Frame button to create as many as you need.

6. Hide the layers required

At this point, you have to determine what will be seen in every frame. How? It's easy, each frame is able to remember the settings of layer visibility. That is, if Frame 1 layer just visible in Frame 2 you may have seen others. This is how you will create the animation by changing the visible layers for each frame, so that the layers are presented has changed in the desired order. It's like flipping very fast.

7. Select the duration of each frame

Once you're through with the previous work, we recommend changing the length of the frame. Basically, it's time to stay with the screen image. You can choose the value you want, but remember to press the Play button to check the result.

8. Writes for the Web

If you're satisfied with your animation, it's time to record it. Do not use the conventional Record menu, will not respect the animation. You have to use Save for Web in place.
The options require some prior knowledge to use them wisely, so if not your case, stick to burn. Yes, it is advisable to select Transparency, then the emoticon will be integrated better into the window. Reduce the number of colors will make the resulting file is lighter (in case you have trouble losing the 150 kb max)

9. Create a new smiley Messenger

You are now ready: now we have to put it in Messenger. Click on the Tools> Emoticons and press Create.


10. Select your shortcut

Look for the GIF file you created with Photoshop, as well as the keyboard shortcut that will call. The name is completely unnecessary and of itself is filled with file name: leave it as is.


So this is how you can make your own smileys in just 15 min.

Instantly Cancel Any Printing Job With A Simple Batch File

Cancelling or deleting a job from the print queue takes ages in Windows. This is a common annoyance, which pretty much anyone who has ever used printers would be familiar with.

Apparently, this occurs because the temporary file created for the print job can’t be deleted while it is still being accessed by Windows. The solution is to manually kill the spoolsv.exe service using Task Manager and delete all job files present in C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS. Off course, if you need to continue printing you would have to either restart your computer or manually restart the spoolsv.exe service.

The trouble with this solution is that it demands too much work. In order to use it you can download the batch file from here or manually copy the following code into Notepad and save it as clearprintspool.bat.

@echo off
echo Stopping print spooler.
echo.
net stop spooler
echo deleting stuff... where? I'm not sure. Just deleting stuff.
echo.
FOR %%A IN (%systemroot%\system32\spool\printers\*.*) DO DEL %%A
echo Starting print spooler.
echo.
net start spooler

Now, whenever you need to delete all printing jobs, just double click on the batch file. However, be careful while using this in a work environment as if you are on a print server, it would cancel printing jobs for all connected printers.
