To accomplish this, select either Layer > New > Layer or click the Layer button on the layer palette. If you intend to create additional frames with other images within this new document, you’ll need to create layers for each of these manually. Then, simply drag your image into the Photoshop project window or go to File > Open and select your image. If you have no image at all or a single image you intend to work from (as is often the case with animated banners), create a new document with File > New. Have a Single Image? (Or No Image at All?) Once you press OK, Photoshop will automatically create a layer for each image you opted to include. You’ll be prompted to open files, so select the Browse option and locate each file you intend to place within the document. This helpful option allows you to load an entire range of images simultaneously, rather than needing to drag each one into your document individually. You can get started easily by going to File > Scripts > Load Files Into Stack.
