I am a newbie to Photoshop CS2…it came with the used computer I bought so I figured I’d bone up from v5.0 or whatever the last version I learned was.

I have an animation set up: ‘n’ frames, ‘n’ layers. My intention is to paste an object into one frame and one frame only. Every time I hit cmd-V, though, the pasted object appears in every frame. If I move around the layer created by the pasted object, the move shows up only in the active frame. Merging the paste layer with the frame’s layer doesn’t do anything to remove the object from the other n-1 frames.

Surely there’s a logic to getting it to appear in only one frame, but Photoshop Help isn’t making its case.

Thanks!

you are using IMAGE READY???
make a layered document in PS, pasting your frames on separate layers then switch to IR
select frame one
turn off the eyeball on the layers you don’t want to show in that frame continue frame by frame
(you can change many frames at once by shift click)
