Hello everyone! It's Holly, aka westfall- , here! Today I'm going to be teaching you guys how to add a gif to your graphics using Photoshop(I'm using CS6 in the tutorial)


Step one; Open your gif and open whatever graphic you want to add the gif too.


Step two; Highlight all the layers of your gif and then hold down shift and click the little folder to put them in a group. You don't have to name the folder, but I usually name it "gif" just to stay organized and so I know what it is.

Step four; Drag your gif over to your graphic document. And then you can close your gif since you don't really need it open still.

Step five; This step is easy haha xD Position your gif wherever you want it.


Step six; So, we need the timeline window, or as I sometimes call it the animation window, to show up. There are two ways to get it to show up, but I'm going to show you the easier version. If you guys want to see the hard version, just ask! (the harder version really sucks though in my opinion lol) Go up to the "window" drop down menu at the top and click on it. Go all the way down till you get to "timeline" and then click on it and the timeline window will show up down on the left there.
