Animated Gifs

Gif by Aayush Karki

The process for making animated gifs in photoshop:

-change your workspace to MOTION

-toggle the bar in the timeline to FRAME ANIMATION

-click on FRAME ANIMATION to see your first frame appear

-highlight your first frame and click the + for DUPLICATE FRAME

-toggle layers on and off to reveal different content for each frame you make 

In order to ADD SOMETHING NEW you need to add a new frame

In order to CHANGE SOMETHING you need to duplicate that thing first, and then change it so that the change is on a new layer.

To save your files as  and animated Gif go to File> Export>save for web (legacy)

Choose your gif preset

Preview and adjust image size as necessary

Save optimized as images only.

Don't forget the Gursky review reading called Its Boring At the Top
