ones with multi-images or something like this?
Animated GIF's are made in ImageReady. ImageReady comes bundled with Photoshop.

That's what i have. Can anyone show me where find tutorials for something like this?
Okay..this image is pretty simple to create. Heres a tutorial on it made by me on the spot:
1. Create a new document in Photoshop that is something like 100 x 100 px on white background
2. Open up the photo that you want to be animated in photoshop by either double clicking on the gray out of your document window or by going to File/Open at the top of your screen
3. Drag your photo onto your 100 x 100 white document and adjust it so that the chest is the area that you see
4. Click the button in your tool bar that says Jump To ImageReady (this will bring you to ImageReady)
5. Once ImageReady opens up and you have your document there make sure that you have the animation palette open at the bottom of your screen (should be a long little palette at the very bottom of your window)
---If you don't have that animation palette there for some reason then just go to Window/Animation Palette (or View...something like that)
6. Then in your animation palette you should see your layer with the chest showing on the first frame...create a copy of this frame by clicking the new layer/new frame (duplicates current frame) icon at the bottom of the animation palette
7. You should end up with a duplicate of your last frame...with this current frome go to your layers palette and drag your photo layer down a bit then in the animation palette duplicate this frame just as you did the last one
8. Keep on doing this until you have the face showing completely and you are satisfied...then hit the play button at the bottom of the animation palette and it will start playing
Tip: You can adjust the time that it takes between each frame by looking at the bottom of each frame icon and it had a 0 there...click on that drop down menu and you will be able to choose numbers up to 5 or 6 I believe...choose and adjust however you want.
Hint: Also if it is too choppy for you...just click on the tween button at the bottom of the animation palette which is a fading set of purple circles. Adjust the amount of frames added to what you want and then you are set to go.
This takes a lot of adjusting to what you like, etc.

8. Highlight both frames, click the Tween button and specify the number of frames you would like it to create for you...then hit the play button at the bottom of the animation palette and it will start playing.
