[How to] open animated GIFs in Photoshop!

01/08/2010 15:03 glupkotrup#1
Lately I've been many times asked if there is a way to open animated GIFs in Adobe Photoshop... Many say that there isn't but there is. All you have to do is follow these steps:

1. Click File -> Import -> Video Frames To Layers


But when you open the "Import" window it will only allow to open .MOV; .AVI; .MPG & .MPEG files.


2. So if we want to make adobe photoshop to allow us to open any files (including GIFs) we need to write *.* and press Enter into the import window.


3. Open the desired animation (in this case animated gif file)


Hope I helped someone :D
