Animated GIFs are a great way to make your designs more
eye-catching. With Photoshop, you can customize any animated GIF to fit the
style of your project. Here's how:
- Open the GIF in Photoshop CS5, CS6 or Creative Cloud versions
- If not already open, open the Animation window by selecting Window>Timeline, or Window>Animation
- Also, make sure the Layers window is open by selecting Window>Layers
Now, here are tutorials for three methods of customizing
animated GIFs in Photoshop.
- Adjustment layers
In the Layers window, select the top most layer and use the
'Create new adjustment layer' icon to add a new adjustment layer.
Select the type of adjustment layer to use. Any changes to
the adjustment layer will affect all the frames and layers below it.
Play around with different types of adjustments to get the
desired effect. This is a great option for changing colors and contrast. When
you're ready to save, go to 'Save for Web and Devices' from the File menu. In
Photoshop CC, it's under File>Export. Select GIF, and the desired number of
colors. Be sure to check the Transparency, Matte, and Animation Options at the
bottom of the dialog. Click 'Save' and save the file as a new name.
