Question
hi,
I've four jpg images., i jus wanna make them as a gif., so tht all those 4 images plays in rotation. huv do i do tht in photoshop.

Answer
Hi Karthil,

Start be combining your 4 images into one Photoshop document with one image on each of four layers. Then go to Window>Animation and in the animation window, click on the flyout menu in the upper right corner and select "Convert to Frame Animation". Then click on the flyout menu and select "Make Frames from Layers".

At this point, you can play the animation and adjust the times for each frame by clicking on the time under the thumbnails in the animation window and set it to loop once or forever. When done go to File>Save for Web & Devices and select a gif File Format.

Hope this helps,
