Take a look at AnimStack http://registry.gimp.org/node/26501which provides a whole batch of features for creating animations.
And to revert a diff animation layer stack, try the unoptimoze filter http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/plug-in-optimize.html -RobA> ----- "Quae dissolvi non possunt." ------------------------------ *From:* "Bgs" <b...@bgs.hu> *To:* "gimp-user-list@gnome.org" <gimp-user-list@gnome.org> *Sent:* October 25, 2012 8:30 AM *Subject:* Re: [Gimp-user] GIF animation automation and revert diff Ok... just to clarify. It seems there are no ideas so I actually do have to develop it myself... :) Bests Bgs On 10/09/2012 09:58 PM, Bgs wrote: > > Hi, > > I've been playing a bit with GIF animations and there are two things > I'd like to do but haven't found any trivial solution for. > > 1) I have a background type of layer and several smaller ones.
