HERE IS AN INTERESTING GIF ANIMATION (CLICK HERE).
PRIOR TO CREATIVE SUITE, THE PHOTOSHOP ANIMATION METHOD PRODUCED WHAT'S CALLED A GIF ANIMATION WHICH WAS A SERIES OF GIF IMAGES JOINED TOGETHER IN SEQUENCE. THE COMMAND IN PHOTOSHOP WAS "SAVE AS GIF ANIMATION." THE INDIVIDUAL GIF IMAGES WERE MADE FROM EACH LAYER CREATED IN PHOTOSHOP (FOR EXAMPLE, A SIX FRAME ANIMATION WAS MADE BY SAVING A SIX LAYER PHOTOSHOP FILE AS A GIF ANIMATION, EACH LAYER WAS DESIGNED AS A DIFFERENT FRAME).
