thanks,sound worth a try. i was only using text as example,but i wot i want to do is make a gif then put a picture along the side so im sure it will work they way you said. will have to give it a go. cheers

thanks,but i do know how to make a gif in gimp. so after my post wot i did was open a gif i did get from the net. then opend a picture from which i took the lettering from and cut and copied it to the gif,but when i play the gif back the lettering is only on one frame of the gif. id like the lettering to be on all frames. isnt there a way it does it automatically instead of going into each picture and tryn to align the leters so they match the place of the other letters and isnt out of place maybe i posted here,but i thought someone would know. after all paint does not support gifs.

ive seen animated gifs that sometime have a picture to the side that look like its blended in and has the fade to the gif and picture. is there a way to do this with paint or gimp. cheers
