Layers To Frames

[Spock]

Ok, Im In The Middle Of Creating A Frame By Frame Animation In Photoshop And I Want To Know If There Is A Way To Convert The Layers In The Psb/Psd To Frames Starting From The Bottom Most Layer And Working Its Way Up In The Layers.

Or A Way To Export Each Layer As An Sequential Image So I Can Load It Up In Imageready With The COnvert Folder Into Animation Option.

Because Exporting Each Frame (Roughly 200 Right Now) Would Take Ages.

Im Using Photoshop CS2 On My Schools Mac And CS1 On My Lappy.

You're referring to an animated GIF if I'm not mistaken ... if so

Example: Create your base layer with an xmas tree in CS.
On layer 2 (above base layer) create purple lights (dot layer 2 with purple dots)
On layer 3 (above layer 2) create yellow lights (dot layer 3 with yellow dots)

All 3 layers are visible.
Now switch to Image Ready.
In the animation bar you'll see 1 lit up xmas tree. duplicate that frame a couple of times.

Now hide each layer as such
frame 1 visible: tree not visible yellow / purple lights
frame 2 visible: tree + purple lights not visible yellow lights
frame 3 visible: tree + yellow lights not visible lights
frame 4 visible: tree + yellow + purple lights

Now press play and watch the lights switch on and off according to your animation.

Trust this helps.

[edit]Shut my mouth, my confusion.

That's quite a long process for 200 layers, i think he wants something easier.

[edit]Like this.

Transfer the file over to Imageready using the button at the bottom of the toolbar, then do this:
