Hi John,
Sorry for the delay .... okay ... at this point, We have our animation started and it should look like what I have in the image above (only with your pen pics instead)
At the bottom you should see what appears to be the controls on a VCR .... as in this picture

click on the 'PLAY' button and watch the BIG picture (not the animation workbar) and you should see something like this

Is THIS what you're looking to achieve?

Yes it is. I am to that point also. I want it to be able to include it in a message when I make a post on a pen turning forum so I can show all sides to a pen that has a unique figure or a special design in it. This was an example to work with. I do not know why there are various color changes because the camera was never moved when I took these. I guess what I need to know is how to save these and if there is any touch ups I can do.???? I know there also must be some special effects that can be added. I have learned alot already.

Okay, great .... then we need to save this image properly to get it right for you.

Step 1: FILE/Save for Web and you'll see an image like this

Step 2: Use the settings that you see in this image

Step 3: Click the SAVE button and VOILA ... you have your image. (For an animation, your image must ALWAYS be saved as a .GIF file or it will not work).

Any questions?

believe it or not ... pictures will NOT always be the same colors .... no matter what.

Well ... I don't know ... I haven't seen your final picture LOL!

If you're satisfied, then lesson over .... anytime you need anything else, just post it here and we'll get to it.

Now I suppose you need a class on how to post images on Photoshop forums?

Well Mark I have taken my first steps in learning about using the Photoshop feature on my computer. I learned alot just from this excersise. I learned you are a good man and a patient one at that. I learned you are very knowledgable and a good teacher and are willing to share. For this I thank you for your time and effort. When I start making some stunning pens I am going to use this feature to show them off. If you decide to make this into a tutorial I think it could benefit alot of people who are not as well versed in this stuff.

I know I will have questions in the future for sure but I at least know where I can come to get some answers. I do want to thank you for all your work on this project. Job well done sir.
