Add the ImAGIF.pdb to your File Types folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so I only have ImAGIF.FileType.dlc out of those redboxes, I don't see the .dll file in this pic. Also do I need the ImAPNG stuff too? Also where did you put the .pdb file? is that also in the Paint.NET\FileTypes directory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a breakthrough, I can see the APNG file types, but I don't see the AGIF file types even though I added all the files into the dirPaint.NET\FileTypes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDavid Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 The current version is 4.2.13. I suggest you update to resolve this problem. If there is a reason you can't update that would explain everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomUser123456 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Just one more quick question on how to actually use the software. I'm using it to the cut out the background for the gif I have in question. I have that all done: Now how do i properly save it. Cause every time I try to save it as a .gif file I just get a still image. Any help would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDavid Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 When you save as GIF, are you seeing the proper dialogue screens? I.e. - not getting errors or showing file size When you look at the GIF, what software are you using? As a last resort, post the GIF on this thread, (looks small enough to me) and I'll take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDavid Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter. The boxes are for layers. GIFs treat them as frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay I tried that, I just have Frame 1 checkboxed and when I do save as it only shows that one frame. I then open it with Paint.NET and check the layers. All the other layers are gone except for the 1st frame and the frame in question says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - do not use the gif choice. You must use the AGIF (which is a gif in its own right).

Pixey Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I wonder if I could ask for some help please Perhaps @AndrewDavid @lynxster4 @toe_head2001 could have a stab at this? Many thanks. I have managed to re-place most of the images in this thread: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/31629-animated-images/?do=findComment&comment=424804 but I cannot, for the life of me, work out how to do the (a) cover hor, and uncover hor; (b) the vert and also (c) Zoom.
