LOL .... okay we're going to start all over from scratch.

(and no I'm not ticked off .... before you ask)

Step 1: Open Photoshop

Step 2: FILE/NEW

Step 3: Set the size 300x300 and 72dpi

Step 4: FILE/SAVE AS (name it whatever you feel will help you .... I suggest Animation template). and click SAVE.

This creates your template

OK Mark. I did that and there were 2 other settings they asked for bit size which I left at 8 and RGB Color. It said background color is white.

I clicked OK and now a big white blank window opened.

What template is he referring to? Did he forget to attach an image?

@ John T. did you save this file as I said in Step 4:?

@ eSeM the template I'm referring to is one that I gave John the steps to create as the first part of creating an animation. (It's just a name I give it)

I saved it but there is nothing in it. I do not know how to get the photos in it. When i click on it the big white window opens up.

no worries ... First Phase is complete .... now

Second Phase begins

Step 1: FILE/OPEN (navigate to the place where your pictures are stored) and select all files (hold CTRL button down and left click on each picture you want to use) and then press OPEN button.

At this point you should have the 'template' open (completely blank/white) and ALL of the pictures you want to use in the animation open as well.

Mark

Here is what happened now. When I clicked open they all flashed in the big white window. The last photo loaded is the only one showing. Doesn't sound good. The little animation window is open but there is no photos in there. To the right side of the page there is a small picture of the one showing in the large frame. Next to it is written background.

Okay, don't want you to think I'm abandoning you, but I have running around to do tomorrow and Friday and a wrestling tournament on Saturday, so I won't be able to get back to you until Sunday.

Mark

Hey Mark, no problem you are doing me a big favor. When you get a chance post the next steps and I will try them. Have a good night. I was thinking that 300 X 300 file is that not going to be too big??? I just can not get the different pictures into the different layers. I tried everything. I will wait.
