Well, I just figured it out for CS4. I have CS4 Extended, so I'm not sure about the non-extended version of CS4.

First, on the toolbar, under WINDOW, make sure "animation" is checked.

Go to FILE > OPEN AS > then navigate to the folder where your gif file is. At the bottom of the OPEN AS window, choose QUICKTIME MOVIE, and load file. If you opened the "animation" window, you'll see it at the bottom of the screen. At the right on the animation window, click the pull-down menu and choose FLATTEN FRAMES INTO LAYER. Then on the same menu, CONVERT TO FRAME ANIMATION. Then MAKE FRAMES FROM LAYERS. Now you should see the whole animation and you and play it and edit it there.

To save it as an animated gif file, FILE > SAVE FOR WEB and DEVICES. Make sure you check GIF (JPEG is the default). You can preview it there.

I'm using Photoshop CS4 with Windows. When I try to do this, I don't have any "Video Frames to Layers" option under import. Am I doing this wrong? When I go to File > Import, the only option is "WIA support".

Thanks,
Jean

Mo do you wanna get the popcorn, or shall I?

Sounds like a normal day at the office to me...

I said I didn't want to make an issue about this. Let's move on, please.

The issue (if there ever was one) was made when Ramon, a confessed and current Windows user, alleged that he is not a Windows user and that no one else here was either. I apologize for trying to find humor in another post.

As one of the many professionals in this Mac forum that jump between platforms, Jonas' post is helpful to compare platform differences in this particular aspect of Photoshop, since Adobe does not offer a forum suited for the platform agnostic. There is no need for anyone to suggest his info was unwanted or misdirected.

Windows users are welcome here, as both observers and participants -- there are platform-neutral issues that can be discussed just as easily in either forum. No reason to make an issue over this.

But Windows-only problems and solutions are best handled in Photoshop/Win.

>Well, to be honest, there are a few Windows users and bi-platform users here

And the guy saying No "Windows users" here is in fact a Windows user. That's rich. :)
