This is the final part of this Photoshop tutorial. Next, we're going to animate each star. When we made only 1 layer visible for each star, i made "small" visible for "star 1"

Step 18.
For frame 3 we want to change the visible layer from medium to large.

Step 19.
Finally, for frame 4 we want to change the visible layer back to medium, so it looks to be getting smaller again, when it repeats from frame 1 ("small")

Step 22.  
Next save the file (file > save optimized as) as a .gif. You can download the PSD file from [ Here ], bringing us to the end of this Photoshop tutorial.
