Add frames to an animation
Adding frames is the first step in creating an animation. If you have an image open, the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline
panel (CS6) displays the image as the first frame in a new animation. Each frame you add starts as a duplicate of the preceding frame. You then
make changes to the frame using the Layers panel.
1. Make sure the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6) is in frame animation mode.
2. Click the Duplicates Selected Frames button in the Animation panel.
Select animation frames
Before you can work with a frame, you must select it as the current frame. The contents of the current frame appear in the document window.
In the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6), the current frame is indicated by a narrow border (inside the shaded
selection highlight) around the frame thumbnail. Selected frames are indicated by a shaded highlight around the frame thumbnails.
Select one animation frame
Do one of the following in the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6):
Click a frame.
Click the Selects Next Frame button
to select the next frame in the series as the current frame.
Click the Selects Previous Frame button
to select the previous frame in the series as the current frame.
Click the Selects First Frame button
to select the first frame in the series as the current frame.
Select multiple animation frames
In the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6), do one of the following:
To select contiguous multiple frames, Shift-click a second frame. The second frame and all frames between the first and second are
added to the selection.
To select discontiguous multiple frames, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) additional frames to add those frames to the
selection.
To select all frames, choose Select All Frames from the panel menu.
To deselect a frame in a multiframe selection, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) that frame.
