Software : Image Ready 7.0
Hello Everybody!
This is just a supplement to my first tutorial here:
My Avatar
But this time, instead of using Macromedia Fireworks MX to animate, we'll be using ImageReady 7.0 (you really can't animate in PS7) since i think this comes bundled with Photoshop 7 (please do correct me if I'm wrong on this  ) and as per suggestion by Mr. Ali Roman 
In this tutorial, please go the the link above to create the layers needed in preparation for the animation.
Note: Disregard the last 3 steps since it applies to Fireworks MX  .
Let's start then 
[1] Following the tutorial on how to create the images to be used as layers, save these images into a new folder. There shouldn't be any other files inside this folder except the images to be used.
[2] Open ImageReady 7.0. Go to FILE-->IMPORT-->FOLDER AS FRAMES. Look for the new folder where your images are exclusively stored. Once chosen, click OK. The work area of your ImageReady should look something like this:
Note: To change the delay of your frames (so that it doesn't just loop so fast or so), click on the Loop Controls like so:
[3] Now make sure you save this file as a native .PSD file (Ctrl+S).
[4] Select the Animation Palette Option Menu button and from the list choose "Optimize Animation." At the next prompt select both "Bounding Box" and "Redundant Pixel Removal" options then hit OK.
[5] Finally, choose "Save Optimization As" to save the animation as a .GIF file.
There, the same result as the other tutorial  . Hope this is helpful!
:: Cheers to everybody! ::
Fred
