if you do here a little help

First you will need to open up your Photo shop, and also find some cute Glitter Fills. You can find them easily by searching Google. I found a few that I found that had a good variety,

here are a few sites I like

Once you find the glitter fill that you want to use, right click it and save it onto your computer. After you've done that, you will need to create your text in Photo shop, and add any type of effects that may interest you. You can add a stroke, bevel and emboss inner glow, outer glow, and a drop shadow, as well as a gradient overlay.

Once you are finish designing your text or pictures how you want them, you will need to open up Image ready. When Image ready opens, go to File and then open and browse your computer until you found the glitter fill that you saved. After you find that, open it up in Image ready. When it opens, it should bring up two to three, or sometimes even four different frames. Now you will need to click File - Export- animations frames as files- then change format to JPG from gif and make sure you know where it is saving it to (at top is here that is located). Then goto photoshop and open the files it saved and one each one save as a patteren.by going edit then deine pattern and name it whatever you'd like and select OK.

Now, you will go to your text or picture layer on your layers palette and right click and select Blending Options and go to Pattern Overlay and browse for the pattern you just defined and saved. Select that and select OK, and now your glitter should be filled inside your text or picture.

duplicate your text or picture layer and change the pattern to the text glitter fill you saved until you've used all the glitter fills from that one glitter.

After you have finished filling your graphic with the glitter fill, it's time to animate it. Go to file and then edit in image ready When that appears on your screen you will duplicate your layer in the Animation Window and click the eye on the next glitter fill layer and take off the first layer, and continue doing this until you've got each glitter fill in a new layer.

to save optimize as not save as...

You're all finished and you should have a beautiful sparkly glitter graphic to share with your friends!

:Tip make sure you save the file as PSD File so you can alter it for other names and such later hope this helps if not let me know lol sorry i know its a lot of info but it takes alot to start after you get alot of glitter fills saved as patterns then is easier and faster let me know how you do :)
