How to Make GIF Animation
Posted in Digital Scrapbooking on 05/30/2008 06:13 pm by dianeDo you want to make this?
Then this tutorial is for you. I am no professional, I just learned to make this by reading tutorials online also.
Here it is:
1. Edit all necessary photos or image that you want to save in GIF format in photoshop. If you want to have your photos with text you can do it there.
2. Open if you have one. I made this sort of animation above in image ready and this tutorial will be based on that software.
3. Open the photos you want to save in GIF form. I have 5 photos on the animation above.
4. Go to Window > Animation. A new box will be visible to your screen and that is the animation box.
5. Go to your photo number 2 (this is the second photo to be in the line to your animation) and click the small circle that has an arrow inside it on the upper right corner of the animation box.
6. Click copy frame.
7. Go back to the photo number one and then click again the circle with an arrow inside it then paste frame. There will be a pop up that will ask you the paste methods. Choose the Paste After the Selection.
8. You should see by now on your animation box two photos.
9. Do steps number 5-7 again until you pasted all of your photos on the animation box.
10. After pasting the photos to the animation box put some delay to your animation. This is how long or short the next photo will display to your animation. Click the 0sec. below the photo on your animation box. And choose the delay. I chose 0.5 second delay to my animation. Put on delays on all of your photos.
11. Click play on the animation box to see if the animation is ok for you.
12. Then if everything is already set make sure that the format is on GIF. To see this see the optimize box on the upper right side of your screen. Click the arrow down and choose GIF. I just let the preset unnamed.
13. Then save your file as optimized. Go to File > Save Optimized As…
Thats it! You now made your animated file. Congrats!

I like the gif. I actually made a gif of how to make a gif using image ready. Eight easy steps if you import from a folder rather than merge frames. If you like gif put in your email at wegif.com and i will send you an invite.

Great Tutorial. I actually find animated gifs easier to make in Photoshop Elements, though.

Hi!
This tutorial is really cool, very easy to follow even for a beginner like me (in terms of using the photoshop). Now I can add some GIF on my ppt presentation, I think my co-workers would wonder how did I made those pictures.
Hehe
Anyways…THANK YOU SO MUCH..
