For this project, you'll take an image or two and reveal parts of it over time to create a GIF. You can use whatever image you'd like. The goal is to learn how to do it and to try it out. You don't have to worry about copyright, but you may find it easier to use your own photos for this project.
Note: if you ever can't find a window or panel you're looking for, go to the top of the screen, click Window, then whichever panel you're looking for, such as Layers.
Also: if you get stuck, you should try googling what you're stuck on. There are soooooo many Photoshop guides - if this one is confusing to you, use Google as your personal guide! You can also contact me, obviously. Google will just be faster.
