Has there been any previous posts on doing smooth transitions when you want to do a set of, say 5-6 images, all the same, except that they are progressively blurred. In other words, the first slide would be 90% blurred (PS Lens Blur, for example), the next would be 75%, and finally the last would be 0% blur (totally sharp). I'm trying to mimic a film animation when you twist your lens to make the final image sharp. I've tried to have 6 slides play at short intervals, but the look is that of 6 slides changing. Not the smooth gradations. I've played with making the slides parent-child, but haven't mastered making the successive slides appear/disappear naturally. Any ideas or previous posts that you can point me to? WeiPhoto
