Exercise 3: Execute Steps That Cannot Be Automated
For this exercise you'll have to work on each document separately.
- Move each balloon in the frame to create a sense of movement. I scaled down the faraway balloons using Edit > Free Transform. (Be sure to hold down the Shift key during the transformation, in order to maintain proper image proportions.)
- In the first and last documents, turn off the eyeball icon on the balloon layer, so that the movement will start and end on an empty sky (see Figure 10).
- Save all of your files once you've modified each one (use Command-S) and close all of the documents (use Command-W).

Figure 10 Pay attention to the document names as you're working. A common mistake is to work left to right and top to bottom, without realizing that the documents were in a different order!
