How Do You Make A Cursor With Photoshop?
You can find thousands of custom cursors on the web. However, if you want to make a cursor that identifies you, make it from scratch. A number of shareware utilities create cursors, but their graphic interfaces are clumsy. You can use Photoshop’s powerful image arsenal to start the cursor creation process. Step 1 Plan your cursor design. Think about your audience’s expectations of the web experience. A personal website can get away with a cutesy cursor. A site intended to attract clients or customers may not. Step 2 Create your Photoshop file. The file should be 16 pixels by 16 pixels. Use any Photoshop tool to create your image. Try to keep the design simple; cursors shouldn’t be distracting. Step 3 Add layers to create an animated icon. Use the layer underneath the current layer as a reference for motion or change. Hide all but the top two layers when working to avoid confusion. Step 4 Save your file in a format supported by your conversion program. Most will support BMP or GIF files
