You must have seen many animated .GIF images but had not idea on how to go about creating them. Here I am going to tell step by step how to go about creating an image with simple GIF animation.

In this tutorial we are going to use Blink Light Effect using Lens Flare Filter. As in the above image you can see it the original on the left hand side and make it look like the headlights were turned on.

Original Image

Lets first make a duplicate layer of the image. Right Click on the layer and you can see the Duplicate Layer option in the below palate. Or just Press Ctrl+J key. See the image below.

After duplicating the layer just go to Filter > Render > Lens Flare

Now we can see the Lens Flare palate box displayed on your screen.
Set the Lens Flare on the car’s headlight.
Set the Brightness value – 85%, keep on 105mm Prime. Click on “OK”.

Now repeat this step with the left side headlight.
Now we have created a light effect by using lends flare filter. Check the image below.

Now to add animation effect to it.
We have two layers. One is normal image and another is with the light effect.
Just go to Window > Animation. You can see Animation Frames Pallet display on your screen. (Check image below)
