Hello All,
Is there a way to make animated gif’s within Photoshop or will I need other software? If yes, can anyone recommend a good (relatively inexpensive) program that can help?
I’m not sure if Photoshop is capable of producing animated GIF files, however…..
Image Ready is the tool to use. It’s automatically bundled with Photoshop. Easy to use. Creates wonderful annimaged gifs. Take a look at the annimated gifs I created with Image Ready 2.0 (bundled with Photoshop 5.5) at my web page, Fossils From Pleistocene Lake Manix, California at

You can construct your animation frames in Photoshop, utilizing Layers, then save those Layers in a .PSD or similar format. You then can use GIMP http://gimp.org to import your file and use its animated GIF features. Personally, I feel, if you’re interested in doing animations, then you should investigate what free 3D animation applications have to offer.
