There's got to be an easier way?

This may be so, but I'd very much like the GIF to Animate through the layers, one at a time. I suppose I could always export each layer as a JPG, and then compose each individual export in a GIF Animator program, but the export takes so much time, there must be an action or .VB script for it?

Why seperate all the layers then put them back together in one animated GIF when all you have to do is open up the PSD in Image Ready. You can add as many animation frames as you want.

dreamer101 - This is what I'm asking, I did'nt know Image Ready could do this. What is the function called, and/or where is it? Thanks!

Open PSD in Image Ready and go to Window > Animation. You will see one frame in the animation palette. Click the eye (to make invisible) each layer in layers palette. Click "duplicate current frame" icon on animation palette for as many frames as you need in animation. You will have multiple blank frames. Next click on Frame 1 and then click the eye (to make visible) on the layer(s) in layers palette you want visible in Frame 1. Click on Frame 2 and make visible the layer(s) you want in Frame 2. Repeat for each frame.

This is just the basics. You can get into tweening etc. but the main part of animation is selecting the frame and making visible the layer you want in that frame.

Also, you can select the speed of animation. At bottom of each frame you can select the timing.
