Is making a sig animated something you can do in Photoshop, or does it take another software? How is it done?

I think you need an animation software

http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/cgi-bin/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=28590&forum=DCForumID6&archive= has some software links when I asked about pixel pushing awhile ago.

This the the freeware I've been using link

yea, as snidge said, it's extra software.
I use Adobe ImageReady. (It came with my creative suite.)

How is it done?
Much like one of those "bottom corner of the page" illustrations were each page underneath is a slightly altered version of the previous page/layer. So when flipping through them fast gives the perception of action/movement.
Same with animated siggies. You have to create multiple layers and them frame them in a timely manner.
Good Luck Nailbone!

It can be a little frustrating at first but if you keep fiddling with it you'll be animating in no time.

ULead Gif Animator

It allows you to create your animation frames in Photoshop and import them as separate layers in Gif Animator.

Ulead is an awesome program and very easy to learn! I use it also
