Im not sure where the setting is in Photoshop for the loop/delay of the frames and the frame disposal option...
What messed me up was not setting the disposal option to cumulative(combine). After I figured that out it worked fine.


Im gonna make those other stamps into some templates right now..

I made these but they dont look like that last one. I tried a couple of different things. Probably something with the color but Ive messed with it a few times and cant figure it out. The stamp is kinda transparent but still shows up fine. Some people might like it better.

no, unfortunatetely that would be too logical... no actually it is this way so you can do multiple shots in the same image.. I'm still not able to make it work, but I've been low on geek-time lately.. also prefer to figure it out in gimp and animation shop

Hey Ray they are actually animated gif files not png files.

There is two layers with a 0ms delay and combined. And what makes it even weirder is the fact that black is transparent... Anywhere where you want the pic to show through has to be black on the second frame. The first frame has whatever image that you want on the pic set on a transparent background. Then where ever there is an image on the background has to be transparent on the second frame which is black.

Im probably gonna make up a tutorial one day. I use GIMP so all the pics will be of that program but Im assuming Photoshop would be similar.

Hey shaggy maybe thats where your going wrond using animation shop..You can save animated gifs in gimp. Once you save it as a gif file an option will show up to combine layers or save as animation. Then the next box that comes up has the delay option and the drop down list to combine layers. Hope that helps.


Well I made that pawned stamp up real quick. This one came out fine like the first one. I still am not sure what happened with the second set I did the other day. Only thing I can think of is both this one and the first one started as jpg files. While the second set was originally gif files. Maybe Ill try to save them as jpg's and try again.

lol, yea, thanks, still getting used to gimp.. nice to know it does it...

I also noticed the difference with jpg's.. wonder if it has something to do with using true black... I think on modico there was a mention of using something besides #000000

Sort of works on the Vogue too but you get some 'noise' along the top
