I am considering using GIMP for my animations using the layering system my question is would I be able to seperate them and use them?

Cheers

    Should be able to. Gimp is very powerful, just ugly and has a tough learning curve compared to other apps. It uses X11, unfortunately... YUK.

    When i do an animation with gimp i set up all the layers and then you can save a .gif then i open the .gif in preview and you can save each layer by right clicking from there. O there wise i think you would have to copy and paste each layer into its own file then save which i felt would take a lot longer. I personally like GIMP better than Photoshop. But thats probably because i learned to use it before photoshop. :)

    Will you be using the GIMP Animation Package? I haven't used it before but it looks cool!

    I've also heard a lot of good things about Pixen but haven't had a chance to test it out. (It's for pixel -- rather than vector -- graphics though. It's also free.)

    Thanks for all the advice guys! Erm no I haven't thought of using it I was going to use the animation behaviour on gs. I'll have a look at it but for the moment GIMP suits my needs :)

    Actually, I'd say SumoPaint is pretty darn close (and not ugly :-)
    Requires Flash but still great:

    You can download a desktop version, but you have to pay a little bit

    Sumopaint is the best!! I've been using it for a while now, and i wouldn't be able to develop apps without it. It's so simple and easy to use!

    In photoshop do you just use the layering feature?
