"Frames" are represented as layers in GIF images (for web, in GIF export) and as separate files (for AVI, in Gimp Animation Package, a.k.a GAP). To get the kind of effects created by Macromedia Fireworks, you'd need to create multiple still images and sew them together as a GIF, AVI, or by using JavaScript in your web page - a long process. Macromedia Fireworks uses something called "Vector" based Graphics provided by Macromedia's proprietary Flash technology/file format, and GIMP uses "Raster" based graphics which are not so proprietary and come in various file formats. The two are different, yield different results, and work differently. While GIMP is good at editing various types of "raster" images for the web, it doesn't do many of the features of Macromedia Fireworks that appear to be touted on its website. [Vector images use points and "connect the dots" when they display on your computer and contain instructions like "put this text here" and "fill this shape with this colour", whereas Raster images store the colour in a grid of dots that are put next to each other to look like an image.] You might find it easier to describe the effect you wish to get, and maybe we can show you a different way of achieving it with the GIMP. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Very nice. I am not sure how useful it is to have different aggregators for developers and users but we will see. What I am missing is a note on the individual sites explaining what feeds they are collecting and perhaps links to the other aggregators?

Re: [Gimp-user] Using FRAMES... How?
Perhaps you're referring to animation frames? I at least know that in GIMP, frames of an animated gif are represented by layers, and saving a gif, the layers can be made into frames by simply selecting animation in the save dialogue (when you click to save a gif, you are presented the options. It can be kind of confusing for people who are used to setting all those options BEFORE saving.) Hope that helps ~JeremyOn 11/4/05, Ernesto Orozco Coulson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I have been looking for but I could not find the wayto work with FRAMES (like Macromedia Fireworks).Where is the "frames" window?Could anyone please give me explanation about?Thank you very much.
