Adjust brightness/darkness in GIF image Photoshop

ps24.2.0  can not find an answer anywhere to the simple question of how do I adjust brightness darkness setting for a GIF image that will change all the frames. I certainly know how to adjust the brightness darkness thing for a still image and I know it can be done for a GIF image as I have done it, but it was quite a while ago and any assistance would be appreciated.

Correct answer davescm

I've now done everything you told me in the order in which you told me to do it. Enclosed screenshot shows everything and it's still not working in terms of brightness contrast, etc..


The adjustment layer needs to be moved to the top of the layer stack above all other layers. It only effects layers that are below it.

So there is no possible way to change the theme to black and not white?

    I did everything you said to do no problem there. However, when I click on Image, the Adjustments thing is greyed out so I can't do anything with Brightness, etc.  I would guess there's something else I need to change.

    Did you set »New Layers Visible in All Frames« before or after creating the New Layer?

    I initially set the new layers visible thing before I made the other changes. Show I started back at the beginning again made the changes and then turned on the new layers visible thing, so yes, I now have access to the adjustments under image. However, nothing happpens when I change the brightness setting for example. The graphic stays the same. So don't know what else I'm doing here that needs to be changed.

    Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Timeline, Options Bar, …) visible? 

     

    Have you created the intended Adjustment Layer yet? 

    Is »New Layers Visible in All Frames« checked in the Timeline dropdown menu?

    As you can see with the two screenshots, I have done what you suggested however, the adjustment only affects the first frame. In other words, I don't know how to get all the frames involved here with whatever adjustment I want to make in this case brightness contrast.

    In the frame animation timeline, any layer can be visible in any frame. So select all frames in the timeline, then in the layers panel turn on the visibility of your adjustment layer (eye icon). It will now affect all frames.
