Join Diane Burns for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating color transitions, part of InDesign: Creating Animations.
- Someone from Adobe once told me…that the most widely used animation preset is Fade In…with a close second Fade Out.…I can see why.…There's a lot you can do by changing the opacity…of an object.…Creating color transitions is one of them.…Let me show you this example.…Here, we have a house and we wanna show…what it would look like in a new color.…It starts white…and slowly changes to this teal…or tasteful colonial green, I suppose you could say.…
Let me show you how this was put together.…It's very simple, really.…First, let's look in the Layers panel at what we have here.…We have two versions of this house graphic.…We have the original house,…which is the white house,…and then we have the teal colored house.…Now, we could have cut this house out…of the Photoshop file and put it on top of the white house,…but there was no real reason to do that.…We're just using the entire image again,…except with the color adjusted which we did in Photoshop.…
Once we have those two pieces,…all we need to do is select the top house,…
