Pixey

Many thanks for all your help @Midora. It's much appreciated. I didn't manage to get the water and the horse to move together. Never mind. I'm curious as to why the signature once animated is a little grainy? Before animating it is much clearer: My new signature ............. below

Beautiful images @Red - you make such delicious things. The rose is so pretty and thanks for posting the height map settings ..... which has given me the urge to play .

You are using an older version of Paint.NET and should really update to the latest v.4.0.6 which can be downloaded from here: http://www.getpaint.net/download.html Click on the box that says dotPDN. Hope you have better luck now

Sorry for the double post ............. but, it's working now in v 4.0.6 . I had to (because of playing with v 3.5.11) reload 4.0.6 again and then had to re-update the plugins! Something did the trick. I do have another question though - can I get two things to move at the same time? I am making an animated image and want a small part of the background to move, as another (different) part moves too! I expect I need to use the Sprite for this? Thanks for all of your help and sorry to have been such a pain .

Hello ............ thanks for that @Midora But, I have now worked out that it is NOT Windows 10 - but it seems to be v 4.0.6 . It works just fine in 3.5.11 (I've managed to download a copy to play with) and it works as it should, opening up all the layers in PDN. i.e. save the gif - alter the File name (add to it .agif) before you save it, and, Save as: All files. It turns the gif into a transparent img with the appended .agif - as seen in Example 1. It doesn't work at all in v 4.0.6 ............ no matter what I try. I will attach some examples for you here, so you can see what I mean. I hope they make sense. Thanks so much for all your help. Please don't lose sleep and work on it just for me, as I am happy to switch over to 3.5.11 when I want to study a gif example of all the layers.

Hi M1cky ............. please read this thread.

Great - I was beginning to think I was losing my marbles and that it was me? My main computer is still en route to me here in Florida (which I have not yet changed to Windows 10) so once it arrives I will be able to see if everything still works the same way in Windows 7. I can't remember whether I'd updated to 4.0.6 on it tho' - but I think I did. Thanks for looking into this .

OK - tearing out my hair now . I've tried every which way - to no avail. It just won't open up into layers in paint.net. and and Even if I choose the AGIF - Gif options in the drop down, no layers appear in paint.net. Only the one image.

Hi Saitentanz ............ perhaps this thread will be of help to you.

No, it has not been resolved. After I change a .gif (rename it to .agif) then upload it into paint.net the individual layers do not open up. I'm thinking this is something to do with Windows 10? it doesn't even work if I choose .agif from a drop down.

Hi Midora - sorry I didn't explain my problem clearly enough. It's not about a gif I'm making, or made, that I want to play back in Lookatit. I recall that I used to be able to download an animated gif from the internet, then rename it from .gif to .agif and then open it in PDN and all the layers that were used to make the gif would open up. I used to do this to study how gifs were put together. Hope this makes sense. Anyway, I can't reproduce this again.

Midora - I am having trouble opening gif's in PDN since I changed over to Windows 10. If I'm not mistaken (and I've not tried to open a gif in PDN for some time) I used to save an animated gif image, then change it to .agif after which, when opened in PDN, all the layers would open up. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance .

Hi Kebmo. If you had an older version of Paint.net, some of the Plugins will have been updated. FYI - to search for a subject in Paint - this is a good search aid. Perhaps this plugin will aid you in what you are looking for. Quad reshape is part of Evan's Plugin pack. Hope this helps .

Hi Zaye and Welcome to the forum . Perhaps you still have the background layer active and checked, so that it looks like the white is still there? If you have a checkerboard space where you deleted the white, then save in .png format to preserve the transparency. Don't forget to uncheck the background layer before you save.
