The other day Fieda asked me how to create animated gif. So here goes again a new tutorial on how to Create Simple Animated Gif in Less Than 1 Minute.
1 Open Adobe Photoshop, create new file with the following settings: Width: 100 px Height: 100 px Color Mode: RGB Color 8 Bit Background Contents: Transparent
2 Type word 'a' in red.
3 On menu, Click Window>>Layers to view Layer pallete. Right click on the layer, select "Duplicate Layer..."
4 Click the eyeball icon to hide bottom layer (the first layer you created previously).
5 Change text color on other layer to blue.
Now you have two layers of word 'a' with different color. To make animated gif we need to use ImageReady.
6 Click on "Edit in ImageReady" button on toolbox.
7 In ImageReady, klik Window>>Animation to view Animation pallete. Create new frame (second frame) and select the other layer on the second frame.
8 Click File>>Save Optimized As... and name your gif file.
TADAAAA! For another example, see the new image added in my CBOX Smilies list.
