Question
Hi Scott,
Can you tell me how to save or export animation created in phtoshop? It should be for playing purpose not for editing.
version is photoshop cs3 extended (10.0).

Answer
Thanks for your question, Sumit! I had typed out a nice, long answer and went to check my facts with an online search. I found you a couple of links that will be much more helpful than I could provide here.

Here's is a great list of tutorials for CS3:

Search the page for "animation" to find a great video tutorial that discusses making animations.

This page specifically deals with exporting an image to the GIF format:

I hope these help you out! Please let me know if you have further questions.
