how do you to post it onto every layer so that it stays in one place?


This may not be the easiest way, but it works for me. First I put my signature on a clear layer the size and location I want it. Second, if you click to the left off the side of the screen and drag the cursor across you'll see a red line follow across, then do the same from the top or bottom. These act like a straight edge to help guide you. Then I use the box select tool to select my sig and cut it to my clipboard. Now when you past your sig use your straight edge to line up with the dotted line around you sig ( dotted line is when the image is posted and it has not been anchored,) and as you move it close it will actually suck into place. Then of course you do this for every layer.


Another way is to create the sig on clear layer. Copy the layer with the sig (duplicate layer button on bottom of right dialog box). If you.gif has 100 layers then create 100 duplicates of your sig layer. Then with in the dialog box you can click and drag the layers so you sig pic is every other layer. Then merge each layer down 100 times.

I've used both ways but your a picking the lesser of two evils because they are both time consuming. There may be an easier way to do it, if so I hope someone post is here.

This is why i was asking about the parentheses after the image name and frame length of time. I was hoping there were a few tricks in there. I've always just had to duplicate and merge visible layers. I know the guy I share my office w/ hates it when I have to uncheck 80 layers so I can start merging them one at a time.


Thanks for the tips . Gimp does do some bad stuff w/ gif files (like not letting me smudge), but I assumed it was something that gif files did to minimize the file size. It could be either one. Right now, with gimp, if I want it to look good in the end, I have to make my own background from a few other frames duplicated and merged together. Just extra steps I wish I could skip.
