Puzzle Piece Technique in Gold
Hey - Does anyone know how to break a photo into puzzle pieces? I was at a party last night and saw puzzle layer upon puzzle layer, with finished photos between each layer. Is this kind of clear? Thanks.

Here are directions and the Photoshop Action to create a 20 piece sliding puzzle. Note that it is a regular show, so it should work with Gold without a problem.

I also don't have Photoshop and instead use Paint Shop Pro for my image editing. This didn't stop me though from making a puzzle show that I thought turned out pretty good.

After searching for a solution to make puzzle pieces out of an image, I ended up purchasing the AV Bros. Puzzle Pro plugin (http://www.avbros.com/english/puzzlepro/index.html) and used it to make all the pieces. It took a bit of time making all the individual pieces, etc. but it ended up being more tedious than difficult.

Doug,
There's a free action that works with Photoshop Elements on the PanosFX web site. You can build puzzles from 4 to 100 pieces.

Actually PSE does support actions--using them anyway. Basically, you can't make one but you can use one that's been created by someone with PhotoShop and if the action they made is compatible with PSE. If you search for them, you'll find that there are quite a few out there. I would expect, but don't know for sure that if the action worked with PSE 5, it would work with 6.
In addition to PanosFx, here's one site that you might want to check out, if you haven't already:

Take it easy with the puzzle - take your time and read through all the information
on it. Quite a few people have been very frustrated with the puzzle game when they
didn't understand one step or another. It is quite easy once you get the parts, but
it does take time and care or things don't work as expected (been there, done that !)
I have no idea how anyone would have the patience to do a 100 piece puzzle (or
watch it for that matter !! )

Doug,
I see that you got your answer. Mikey is right about trying a smaller puzzle first. It helps to start at the end and work back to the beginning like the tutorial says.

OK - I think that I got the hang of it. Below is listed a link that contains a photo I took recently in the Dominican Republic, broken into pieces. No sound added - I wanted to stick to basics. - Viri

Nice spin on the effect. I must admit that I had a little bit of problem due to the synchronization of the moving puzzle piece with the stationary piece. It is my opinion that these two must be coordinated better. Actually, I am not sure why you need the stationary piece. Once the moving piece is in place, move on to the next piece.
Finally, the large piece that gets scaled into position would be fine as an ending, but you moved another piece after that, so what I thought was the end was not the end. I hope that makes sense.
When I did the puzzle exercise, what it did was help firm up keyframing inside of ProShow. Based upon what you have done it seems that you have learned this and are well position to keep expanding your skills.
Regards,
-Vernon
