I believe what happened is that you opened the archive(.rar) and simply got a peek inside the archive. Double-clicking the pic caused it to be extracted to a "temp" directory where it was subsequently opened by your image viewer. It wasn't really hidden, just not "really" extracted. To extract the contents of the entire archive, you can right-click the unopened archive and select "Extract here". Or if you just need a file or two out of the archive, you can open the archive, select the desired file, and extract it. Myself, I would do that by dragging the file out onto my desktop. I'm going by memory, which may not be accurate. Also, I'm thinking of how I would do it with WinRAR. If you're using 7-zip or something built into Win8, then I don't really know. I suspect it would work similarly?

7-Zip should definitely work. If it doesn't then your file will probably have been corrupted during the download so you will need to download another copy from your insurance company. Colin Here is a link that might be useful: Freeware 7-Zip compress and uncompress utility

Elly, I think your twinkling heart is pretty, you have just given it a different twinkle. When you have your twinkly completed with the black background, next you will want to make your background transparent. Edit/select all Animation/Replace colour Old colour Black, tolerance 100 RGB Value Transparent opacity, the background will still look black but it is transparent when you paste it into something, if all the black is not removed move your tolerance to a higher number.You can save it as a gif to one of your folders. To export to PSP, select all, File, Save frame as Paint Shop Pro image.Then open it PSP Now you may think I am very clever, but I have copied most of this from the tutorial.I am not very good at explaining things, but I hope this helps.Hazel

Carol, In a different tut I too had problems with the drop shadow turning ugly (dark) after I animated it....it turned out that I had to reset my optimization settings... See if this will help with your dark edges... Open A/S....open a new canvas and draw a line on it...this will get the settings to stick... Then click File....Optomization Wizard.....Next...Customize button...Partial Transparancy Tab...now you want to change the blend color from black to white. Then keep hitting Next till you get to Finish and hit that too.... But you're right, its pretty as is... : )) FlutteringBy
