The creation of this tutorial is my own, any resemblance to any other tutorial is strictly a coincidence.

This tutorial was written using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and is
for those with a working knowledge of Photoshop. This tutorial can be adapted
for anyone with a working knowledge of PSP.
Before we start, I would like to remind you to save
frequently. This is in case your program closes on you as mine is known to do. J I save as a .psd file. This keeps your
elements in layers instead of merging everything the way a .png file does. I
also do not say copy and paste your element onto your canvas. In Photoshop, it
is possible to drag and drop. But if you are more comfortable copying and
pasting, then by all means do what is easier for you. I use a white background
while I’m making my tag but I delete it when I am finished.

Now it’s time for the animation.
Open your animation window if it’s not already active. To do
this, go to your Menu>Window and click Animation. It will appear at the
bottom. Make sure your Animation Set Layer is active. You will have 16 frames.
In your animation window, you will only see 1 frame. First thing
you do is click on the 0 Sec, this will bring up the Selects Frame Time Delay
box.
Click Other. A Set Frame Delay box will come up. Set the
time for 0.15 and click okay. You’ve set the time for the animation.
Now click on the copy frames icon. Do this until you have 16
frames in the animation window.
Next, you will highlight the first frame in the animation
window. In your layers box, uncheck all but the first frame.
Next click on Frame 2. In the layers palette, uncheck Frame
1 and check Frame 2.
Do the same for each remaining frame in your Animation
Window. Click on the play button to make sure it’s at the speed you want.
Once everything is how you want it, go to File>Save For
Web & Devices. If you want to see what it will look like, click Preview.
Click on Save. This will save as a .gif file and you’re done.
