Adobe ImageReady is also a good sw, allows you to insert tweens between two images.

Well with all those good advices around u must be in a good position to make a neat animation. There is one more tip here Siddhartha...
Make a image in photoshop and then playaround with it in flash softwares. U get loads of them such as the swish range. And then convert it to gif in magic swf2avi software.

Njoy!
