You probably have a program called "imageready", it comes with photoshop. This si the program you'll use for all your animating. You could try looking for tutorials on imageready.

if you could be a little more specific with what you want to do, I could be a little more specific with helping you out.

Do google searches on animated sigs. Read them (perhaps even do a few) and then apply how to animate a sig to animating a border. It'll be different, just be sure to keep the animation within your border, and not to animate the entire sig. As far as telling you how to do it, it depends on how you want to animate it and what you want to animate it with.

okay, so it sound like this is SOMEWHAT like what you want...
Yu can see that the highlight that travels across the border is hardly vsible. The border is 2 pixels wide, so if youwa nt yours easily visible you might want it even wider.

I have three layers on this imsge
1- bacground pattern and words
2- outline on words and border
3- a short gradient white to transparent. This is the layer that I move across the image when I animate it, to give the effect of light. It is grouped above the outline/border layer. (to do this, put the gradient above the outline, and ctrl-click on the line between the two layers in the layer palette.) I hope it helps. Tell me if you need any clarification...

(thanks very much once again to datameister, who first told me how to group layer. I've used it in many many images since he enlightened me :))

Anything's possible. The effect would be done the same way, but with a round gradinet. I'll see if I can whip up an example for ya...

more like this? It's too fast I know, but that's something you'll be able to change very easily.
