If you've ever spent a whole evening applying the same operations to a batch of images then this tutorial's for you! The actions palette is Photoshop's oldest and wisest automation tool, giving any user complete access to fast, efficient and flexible multi-step operations that can be recorded from scratch and played back over and over again. Once you learn the basics of actions you'll wonder how you ever lived without them!

In this tutorial we'll look at how to create a basic animated GIF image, and how we can save time with tweening inside Photoshop and Imageready. I'll also take you through the saving process and make sure the finished product works the way it was intended to.
