I keep trying to save a gif animation with one frame per layer but that is not working!! it still is combining all the layers in the animation even though I tell it one frame per layer!
View 4 RepliesI'm in the process of making several .gifs that I would love to add a frame # counter.
Is there any way to add a frame counter to .gifs?
For example, if I save a gif, and I set the frame delay to 33ms each (about 30fps), then load that gif into Gimp, it says the layers are set to 30ms each.
Is this a quirk with Gimp or a limitation of the gif format itself?
I have a five-frame animation to which I would like to add a background and I don't have enough GIMP knowledge to do it myself, so I've been trying to use the merge-anim script (URL...). When I use it under Debian Linux, with GIMP 2.6.10 (I have also tried it with GIMP 2.6.11 under Windows 7) however, it gives two error messages.
The first is "Plug-In 'Merge layer with others' left image undo in inconsistent state, closing open undo groups."
The second is "Error while executing script-fu-merge-anim: Error: not enough arguments."
The merge never does occur.The script doesn't have any real instructions and I haven't seen any anywhere else (just a number of example results that don't show the steps take), so my first attempt was with all the default values that came up and then other attempts were with changes to various options. None of them made any difference. The error messages were always the same and the script-fu console did not show any messages.
Do any of you know if this script, as old as it is, even still works with GIMP 2.6.10, or is it just a completely dead project that would only work with older versions of GIMP?
If it SHOULD work with GIMP 2.6.10 for Linux or GIMP 2.6.11 for Windows, what I should do to fix these errors and get it to work properly.
If there's no hope for the script, how DO I make a "background" layer the background for each frame of an existing animation. Also, if it makes any difference, the background I'm trying to use is a gradient created by GIMP.
Basically, I was working on a drawing in GIMP, and the paintbrush tool would not work on a transparent layer. I had one layer under it, which was white and had my drawing. The brush would work on that layer, but not the transparent layer above it. I tried with my Wacom Tablet and my mouse pad and neither worked. What else was peculiar was that I could use the Pencil Tool on the transparent layer.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I have this small image consisting of a sine:
and I would like to get a gradient border on it (something like two pixels would be perfect) from the green sine to black. (Partial transparancy would be nicer but since .gif doesn't support that...and yes I do need it to be a .gif XD)
Problem is...that I can't get any of the filter options to work, they are all disabled. After some tests I noticed that this is because there's an alpha layer that for some reason disables the filters.
So...how to get a gradient (green to black) border on the sine?
I need to find all instances, references, etc, of a layer and change it to another layer. I'm not talking about lines and objects or even blocks, but more like properties nested inside of wall styles and cleanup definitions, anything like that. I can't use the QSELECT or any similar command because the layer in question is being referenced inside of individual styles (i'm guessing that's the only place).
We drew our interior walls and our exterior shell for our building on two different drawings so that two people could work on them at the same time. They were xref'd into each other. We got to a point where we needed to put them back into one drawing so I binded the Shell Xref into the interior drawing. This saved us a lot of time but now all the layers from the Shell drawing have this prefix to it "01Shell&0&". This isn't really a problem but I'm a bit OCD and it bothers me to have two different layers for the same thing, one regular and one with the prefix. It means everytime we change the properties of a layer, we have to do it twice. I've already changed everything I could back to the original layers but the Shell layers still show up from time to time. They are nested deep inside of wall styles and custom cleanup properties, custom encaps, and so on.

When I open a transparent .gif file, the layer which contains the item I want is totally locked out and it won't let me move/duplicate/do anything to it. Is there anyway I can unlock it so I can move the layer into other work I'm doing?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm experiencing a slight problem with stringing two .gifs together so that they become one continuous animation.For instance, let's take these two as an example.
If I simply open Gimp, drag both of them into a new project and save the resulting thing as a gif, I get this: As you can see, the transition between the two is anything but smooth (the last frame of the first animation and the first of the second appear to be fused somehow? It also happens when the second animation ends again), but I can't seem to identify the cause for this as the layers seem normal and don't seem to warrant this.
I got a request from an administrator of an online meat cutters club. He sent me two separate animated gifs that he wants me to put together side by side in one picture. When I open one it is fine. I then adjust the canvas to make room for the other but when I "open as layers" the second gif's colors are all messed up. Is there a way to combine 2 animated gifs side by side into one larger image? It would be some tedious work moving the layers and merging down to mix them in, but I might be able to do that.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to combine 3 GIFs with one on top, one in the middle, and one on the bottom. When I played the GIF it showed the top one move and a white space where the other two should be then the top one froze then went onto the middle one then that one froze and went to the bottom one then repeated the cycle.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an animated GIF whose edges I'd like to trim off. Some forums say you can only do this by breaking down animated GIFs to individual frames, cropping each, then recreating the single GIF. This would be a lot of work for 93 frames. Is there a better easier way to do this?

GIMP 2.6.11 on both win7 and macos 10.6.x exports/saves (with "Save as...") .gif's with pinkish background hue; no apparent problem with .png export/save. fwiw, we did uncheck "Save background color" for .png's as per [URL] ... . See no such option for .gif's that we have yet to find.
What's happening and/or what we might be doing wrong for .gif's? (eg, monitor calibration, etc?)
I have a not-moving .jpeg image and I want to put 5 different animated .gif images on top of that .jpeg image background but I don't want those 5 .gif images to stop moving.
This is what I'm talking about:
I want to learn how to make .gif images like these using GIMP 2.8.6. I have searched for tutorials for this but they are only for putting a single gif on top of a still image, not multiple gifs on top of a still image.
Everywhere else the GIFs view as intended but when I import to GIMP some of the GIFs change color. Are GIF animations limited in the colors that can be displayed compared to normal (non-animated) GIFs?
A test animation is attatched, but many of the colors are wrong often the colors are changed to white by gimp.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAre there any scripts to find and replace layer names?
There is an excellent script available for Photoshop which allows you to not only replace words in layer names, but also insert words as Prefixes, Suffixes and Sequential Numbers. The illustrator version of this script only allows sequential numbering: It doesn't offer find and replacing of words.
Ideally, it would be great if there was something that could do multiple find and replaces in one go:
(E.g.
You have layers like this Car, Dog, Bat
You enter: car(Option1), dog(Option2), Bat(Option3)
Your layers then become: Option1, Option2, Option3).
)
I am trying to replace one color with another but I cannot get it to work.
I select by color
I click on a pixel of the color I want to replace
I click on the fill paint can icon
I click Fill whole selection
BUT...when I try to click on any pixel in the picture I get the little circle with the line through it on my cursor directly above the little icon of the paint can. Usually you would click anywhere on the picture and click and it would fill that section/selection with the color of your choice, but I am unable to. I have tried it in different formats, I clicked on the layer, I am out of options.
I can do it, but I was wondering if there is a better way.
Large PS file (CS6 and CC) half a dozen texture layers using low res images. Several have blend modes, transparency and even masks. I now have the same images in high res. I want to replace just the image, but not lose my blend/transparency, or masks.
Do I bring in the high res layer, copy the mask over etc? Then delete the original?
I am using this script to find and replace words in layers. (The script only targets particualr words, rather than the whole layer name).
I would like to make it so it targets selected layers only.
I have found this script which loops through selected layers only, but I am not sure how to add the find and replace layer name functioality.
