Create an animated GIF

1 Place the images you want to appear in each frame of the animation on separate layers of the Layers panel. For

example, to create an animation of an eye blinking, you would place an image of the open eye on one layer, and an

image of the closed eye on another layer.

2 Choose File > Save for Web.

Note: If your image has multiple layers, you can also open the Save For Web dialog box from the Save As dialog box by

choosing CompuServe GIF Format and selecting Layers As Frames.

3 Optimize the image in GIF format.

4 Select Animate.

5 Set additional options in the Animation section of the dialog box:

Looping Options Continuously repeat the animation in a web browser, or animate only once. You can also choose

Other to specify the number of times the animation must loop.

Frame Delay Specifies the number of seconds that each frame is displayed in a web browser. Use a decimal value to

specify fractions of a second. For example, use .5 to specify half a second.
