Re: [Gimp-user] Quality of animated gif is bad
Hi, Jakub Steiner [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Looks like you're using combine as a frame disposal method while you need replace. Also note, that GIF cannot handle alpha channel, so you'll still end up having aliased contour of the gnome throbber. If you know your target background color, you can flatten or semi-flatten prior to indexing. Or use a proper file format for animations such as MNG. GIF is a piece of crap and should have died a long time ago already. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi, Tom Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: True, but it's still widely used and has more support than PNG. It's the perennial web designer's nightmare - you hate IE but you have to code for it anyway because everyone uses it. The compromise between what should be done and what has to be done. In the same way, PNG is not as widely and well-supported as it should be, at least in IE. Sort of true but things will never change if everyone thinks and acts this way. Only if you web-designers start to write spec-compliant pages and use the proper formats, only then will the browsers be fixed to render these pages correctly.

When you identify a browser that does not support current standards (typically, IE), let the user know, either with a popup or such. How many times have you seen similar messages telling you, you MUST use IE for a particular website? -- Until later, Geoffrey Registered Linux User #108567 Building secure systems in spite of Microsoft ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I got the original png which contains a rectangle containing the 35 frames. I cut these out and put them in a seperate layer in GIMP. If I then play the animation in GIMP or save it as an animated GIF and then play it.
