Question

Why does the first frame change when I edit the second frame?

I am new to the Photoshop animation feature (in C.S. 5.5)., and I am having a problem.  When I edit the layers in the second frame, the same changes occur in the first frame.  If I add additional frames, they all change whenever I edit one of them.  As a result, all of the frames are the same, which makes for a rather uneventful animation. I have tried unchecking the "propagate frame 1" box, but that has no effect.  What am I doing wrong?  How can I limit the changes to the selected frame only?  Thank you to anyone who can help with this.

    I think you need to hit the 'propagate frame' button on the top of your layers.

    Frames are not separate documents.  Think if them more as sequenced layer comps, where different layers are made visible in each.

    Try editing  layers rather than frames.  You should be able to edit individual layers then use the command "make frames from layers".
