Today I will tell you all how to make an easy two frames animation.
Requirements:
1.Photoshop CS4, I used Photoshop CS5, i don't know if this feature is in earlier versions or in any photo editor. You can also use Image ready but you will have to Google for the tutorial!:D
2.Some good pictures...

This tutorial is for avatar animation, you can use this to make any type of animation for eg animated signature.

Ok so get some pictures.For animated avatars i recommend 2-5 pictures and for animated signatures 2-3 pictures are great!I will use 4 pictures for my animated avatar of Pakistani players.

Step 1: Make a new psd file of 100*100.

Step 2: Place all your images and resize them.

Step 3: Now open the Window tab and then press Animation! Reference picture:

Click Do not Dispose or Dispose.

Step 7: Change the time it will stay for e.g 1 sec or 5 sec. I recommend 1 sec. stay is good. Reference picture:
