Photoshop Timeline View

[GerhardtZ]

How do you switch frome frame view to timeline view with annimation?

Hello there!

To bring up the timeline, go to Window > Timeline, as shown below. 

This will bring up the Timeline window, also shown below. Note: the timeline panel is empty, as I do not have a animation set up.

To learn more about animating with Photoshop i have also embedded the video:

Please post back if you have any questions

Thanks for the reponse.  However I am using Photosop CS4 .  I am retitred and can't afford all the upgrades.  The CS4 window dropdown does not include the timeline view

I am still using CS3 myself, it might be similar to CS4

first enable Window > Animation

then, to switch between Frames or Timeline, click on the bottom right side of the animation window:

Thanks.  Those 3 liitle squares are greyed out in my Photoshop program

Have you tried opening an image or creating a new document to see if that enables the switch?

Hi GerhardtZ,

Is your version of photoshop cs4 the extended version?

[GerhardtZ]

I have tried opening different file types: jpg, png, psd, gif and a blank page.  All have the same result.  Choosing animation goes to frames view and the switch to timeline vie greyed out.

Only Photoshop extended is able to work those advanced features: https://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressmaterials/pdfs/cs4_photoshop_photoshopext_whatsnew.p...
