WARNING! THE IMAGES FOR THIS TUTORIAL HAVE BEEN DELETED. PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN!

First off i'd like to thank R3D and Nominator for the idea but i would like to teach you the quick way to make the scan bar. This takes less than 1/3rd of the time Wink

1) First off open the image you want to apply it to:

2) Crete a new layer
3) Now use the Marquee tool to make a rectangular shape the size you want the scan bar and fill it with a clour.
4) Then change the overlay to colour and add a 1 pixel black stroke to it (Layer->Layer Style->Stroke)

5) Now go into image ready (Shift+Ctrl+M)
6) Once in image ready if the animation bar is not already show click window->animation.
7) Now in the animation window make a new frame.

8) In the new layer move the scan bar to the top and select the first frame again.
9) Create a tween and enter the following:

10) Now create a 18th frame in the animation after the 17th frame and move the scan bar back to the bottom.
11) Then select the 17th frame and create a tween with the same settings (Make sure next frame is selected).

12) Once you are happy, save the file as a gif. File>Save Optimized As.

There we have it a scan bar in half of the time!

Very nice tut, but very confusing, you should add more details and pictures. Can you add the long way to do this? This is a nice, but confusing tut. =/
