This will make it easier to select all the files at once when uploading the images to Photoshop. While not required, it is easiest to put all the image files you would like to use in a single folder. Keep in mind, the free option will often come with some limitations such as built-in watermarks or image quality. You can check out a couple here and here. The steps below show how to create an animated GIF using a series of photos in Adobe Photoshop, but there are other online services that will help you create one for free. However, you can also use these same steps to create something you might share on social media, a promotional email, or even via text message. Instead, we thought it might be fun to put together a quick how-to on creating your own animated GIF using a series of photographs! As in this example, you can now add animated GIFs and videos to your Greenvelope card. They have become so popular that there are even entire websites devoted to the raging debate between pronouncing GIF as “jif” or “gif.” We are going to try our best to stay neutral on that one.


At its core, an animated GIF is simply a type of file that contains a series of images to create a small video or animation. i can't say if that's gonna implemented in the new version of FireAlpaca but will have to wait and see.GIFs have become a major part of online culture and general communication.

but, yeah i still had to work with two programs again except i had to animate and recently color it in FireAlpaca, save it as a PSD file than add the finishing touches in GIMP and save it as a GIF, because you can not save your animation as a Gif within FireAlpaca. when you start a new layer it temporary turns your previous layer into a red or green color when your not working with that said previous layer. but, the onion skinning of the feature works very well. the Onion Skin Mode of FireAlpaca seems to work way better than the GIMP lightbox plugin i been using, yes, it still uses the layers as a timeline like the other plugin rather than having a separate animation timeline which is somewhat a downer. Recently, FireAlpaca has updated with a new feature called "Onion Skin Mode" which is for creating traditional frame by frame animation.
