Today I will introduce you to creating simple animations with Photoshop. First of all, I want to create my own animated GIF instead of using "Auto Awesome" that is created automatically by Google+. When I installed Photoshop CS6, I gave it a try and it happened. What happened? This format's presentation is pretty straightforward: import images as separate layers and then save them as animated GIF files. Wrong!

If you try to create a GIF in this way, you'll notice that the Animation section in the Save for Web dialog box is grayed out. To enable it so you can select looping options, you need to create what's called an animation frame. In Photoshop CS6, it sounds complicated, but it's easy to do. In this post, I will walk you through the steps for creating your own animated GIF using still images.

Step 1 - Import all photos

The first thing you need to do is import all of your images into separate layers in one Photoshop file. For example, if you have 6 images, open them all in Photoshop, then create a new file and copy and paste each image into a separate layer. In the new file, Layer 1 should be your starting image and the last layer should be the final image of the animation.

This part of the process is probably the most time consuming of all. It's probably a simpler and faster way to do it in Photoshop, but since I'm not a professional user, I manually copied and pasted each image into a new Photoshop file. If you know of a faster way, please let us know in the comments.

Step 2 - Create Animated Frames

The second step is to create the actual animation in Photoshop itself. To do this, you need to open the Timeline window, go up to Window and select Timeline.

You will now see a Timeline window open at the bottom of the screen. It should be completely empty to begin with. Now, to create a frame animation, just right-click anywhere in the Timeline box and select Create Frame Animation.

When you do this you will see only one image in the timeline with 1 small image in the top left corner. It will be the image you selected in the Layers panel or it will be the most recently added layer. (Last image in animation) At this point it is a single frame animation which is not what we want.

Instead, we want all layers to be included in the animation. To do this we need to click on the small arrow button located on the far right side of the Timeline window. It has a small down arrow and then two horizontal lines next to it. When you click on that you will see an option called Make a frame from layers.

You should now see the frames for each layer you have in your file. Each frame has a dropdown below the image that lets you choose how long each frame should be displayed.

Once you've chosen the time for each frame, you're ready for the final step, which is saving your new animation to a GIF file.

Step 3 - Save the GIF file.

Now it's time to save your animated GIF. To do this, go to File and click on Save for Web. At the very bottom of the Save dialog you will see the Animation section, which should no longer be grayed out.

Your options here are pretty easy to understand. You can choose whether you want it to actually loop, then preview the animation before saving it. About it! Hopefully this guide helps you create animated GIFs in Photoshop CS6 without a hitch!

Conclusion

There are two things worth mentioning. First thing's first, if you find that your animated GIF is too large, you'll need to reduce the size of each image before you create the final Photoshop file with multiple layers. You can crop the image if you only need a portion of the photo to animate, or you can reduce the size of the entire image.

The second part, if you have video, you can automatically import video frames to layers by going to File, then Import and clicking on Video Frames to Layers.

This is all there is to it. Again, to manage size, you may need to reduce the image quality to create a small GIF file.

Let's try doing it.
