Photoshop Animated GIF Tutorial

One of the main interests in Photoshop Training now is how to interact with social media. How to create banners for Facebook, Twitter, PinInterest and many more. The answer often lies with animated GIFS which are really simple to create in Photoshop.

Incidentally we’re going to be very exotic with the colour choices – I’m not too sure if tulips actually come in shades of purple.
