Yeah, I guess so - - 8->
or rather, http://gimp-savvy.com/BOOK/ Section 9.1
9.1.1 Using GIF Files for Animation
9.1.2 GIMP Layers Can Behave Like Animation Frames
9.1.3 Saving Animations to GIF
9.1.4 A Second Example of Creating a GIF Animation
9.1.5 Animation Optimization
9.1.6 IWarp
I believe you can disassemble/reassemble animated Gifs, (with
various Windoze software) but it looks like it would be a lot
more fun to work with Gimp layers (check out the transparency stuff)
Your pissoff file is a Gif, so there's no way to get it back to
the original Gimp native format if you didn't save a copy of the
file in .XCF before converting/saving as Gif because:
"... This is the only format that can save all the GIMP features
and states when working on a project. If your image contains multiple
layers, channels, selections, or paths, you must save using the XCF
format to avoid losing parts of your work." (from Section 9.2)
Happy Gimping, happy reading, get that dog housebroken, eh.
