How to Animate a GIF Inside of Photoshop CS4

preview
In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at the Photoshop animation feature to create a nice animated GIF. I’m sure all of you already noticed the ads at the right side of this page. For some of you, they are annoying, others even click on them, which is why they are there. I personally think there’s nothing to be said against them, so I thought why not creating a nice 125 pixel by 125 pixel ad to demonstrate how easy it is to create nice animations inside of Photoshop.
All we need to do is open up Photoshop, create our final image and animate it the way we want it to move the single elements to achieve the final effect. Additionally, we’ll stop by at the beautiful GraphicRiver website, where we’ll download their logo, which we’ll use to create our GIF.
