ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 33 User Guide (ImageReady) Add a rollover effect Rollover effects display different states of an image when a viewer performs a mouse action-such as rolling or clicking-over an area of the Web page. Layers provide an efficient way to store different image states for rollovers. Select the slice or image map to which you want to add the rollover, and choose Window > Show Rollover. The Rollover palette shows a single thumbnail representing the normal, inactivated state. Click the New State button ( ) at the bottom of the palette. From the pop-up menu above the new rollover thumbnail, choose the mouse action that you want to trigger the rollover. Then hide and show appropriate layers in the Layers palette to define the appearance of the new rollover state. (The rollover thumbnail updates to reflect the new appearance, which applies only to this rollover state.)

The key is to use the Animation palette in conjunction with the Layers palette to set up the composition of animation frames. To output your animated image for Web use, optimize the image in GIF format. Set up the starting frame Choose Window > Show Animation to display the Animation palette.
