Photoshop Tutorial



In order to create a GIF that is of a high quality level. I done some research on how to create these medians. I came across a step by step guide from adobe which helped me create my own.  



The first step was to load your chosen files into a stack which can be done by clicking "open "scripts "load files into stack. by doing this your chosen images will be all on the same Photoshop tab. Then you had to go to the "window drop down and tick the "timeline box so that the animation bar can be seen at the bottom of the screen.

The next step involved clicking the button which said "create frames from layers so that you can start to develop your GIF. once pressed the first image will sit on the timeline, to enable the rest to follow you would need to click the three lined box on the far right and click "make frames from layers. by doing that you will be able to load all of your chosen images onto the timeline. 

After that has been done you can press play to preview your animation. for me the animation was looping backwards. This was due to the order the images were loaded in at the start. to fix this I simply clicked on the box again and clicked "reverse frames by doing this the images were now in chronological order. 

In order to save this GIF for the internet you go to "file "export "save for web. which will allow you to view your animation outside of Photoshop and on the internet. 
Here is the finished result...
