Creating GIFs

   If you think creating some small animations, it's possible to create them on Photoshop. It isn't the ideal, but it's possible. Aside from its usifulness, it's very simple to create them! I've been using it to demonstrate a little bit of my illustration's process.

   Here it goes how it works:

- Enable the window "Timeline" in Window > Timeline, if it's not enabled yet
   Here is the place you'll be creating your animation's frames. The system is similar to the layer's window.
- Create a new frame clicking on the icon to the left of the dump icon.
  You can copy and paste frames through the options "Tab", which is the icon the upper right corner of every Photoshop's window.
  To change the frames' exposition time, just click on the down arrow present in all frames.

   This is the basic you should know to create an animated GIF on Photoshop. You can explore other possibilities going on "Tab" of the "Timeline" window, like the "tween" (which is quite simple, because it doen't create other inbetween drawings, but it'll just use the existent drawings and modify their opacity in other new frames).

   Finishing the animation, just export as a GIF:

- Go in File > Save for Web... and click on Save...

   That's it! Have fun creating animations!
