ok so i was wondering how to put a bunch of sprites on the same sheet in photoshop. For example if i didnt want to upload a bunch of sprites 1 by one but as a group. Also is it possible to do this with animated sprites all on the same page (gifs made in photoshop).

Second question, how would i separate animation frames for someone if they wanted like a sprite sheet type deal. (had an action for this on cs3 but i dont remember where i got it from)

Thank you muchly for your time!
Ps using Photoshop CS5

Drag and drop. You may have to work in RGB mode for this.

Yes. If using the same amount of frames or somehow can work using the same framecount.

Export > frames/layers as files.
