Hello all! ^^ Im gonna teach you how to reverse a gif! ^^ Its extremely simple and pretty useful when you want to use a gif in a different way
I will be reversing this GIF:
and it will turn out like this ^^
So lets get started!
First you open up your GIF file into Photoshop. Im using Photoshop Elements 9 so my layout is a little different from most of yours but it's pretty much the same process ^^ Here's what my work space looks like when I open my file:
Then you highlight all your GIF layers so that every layer is selected. Since the first layer is usually always selected when you open it, I just scroll to the top of the layers, hit the "Shift" key and click on the top layer. That way it selects all of them and they look highlighted like this:
Then I look up at the top bar where the File, Edit, Layers, etc. options are and click on "Layer". I move my mouse down till I find "Arrange". A side list will pop up when you hover over Arrange. Scroll to the very last option named "Reverse" like so:
Click on that and whaa laa! Your GIF layers have been reversed! Then all you need to do is go to File and click on Save For Web. Then you choose Animate and the speed you want it and all that jazz!
And there you have it! ^^ You now know how to reverse GIFs! ^^
