Skills in creating animated GIF images using PhotoShop
Barry Nirmal has good skills in creating animated images using PhotoShop.
Here are some of the images he has created. These are just samples. Barry's
skills in creating animated images are much deeper and broader than what
these samples demonstrate.

An "animated GIF" is essentially a GIF image, as you most likely already know,
but with a series of embedded frames that will play back, in sequence, when viewed in a
browser. When animated GIFs were first introduced into the Web, everyone used them on their Web pages.
Animation on your Web site was no longer a complex task that required a properly
configured Web server and a CGI script. It could be done very simply by anyone!
Now, more than a dozen years after that introduction, animated GIFs are steadily
being replaced by other technologies, such as Macromedia Flash, as the Web graphics
animation-of-choice on Web sites. However, animated GIFs still have many valid uses.
