Is there a way to convert the color scheme across all layers from cool to warm I have included the gif in question and an image that reflects the color scheme I am hoping to convert it to. I'll probably try taking out some frames and see if I can get the size down that way. 3 Changing color scheme across all layers in a gif I have a gif that is a cool (blue) color scheme and I need the same exact gif but warm (red) colors. I thought I'd done this before (a year or two ago) but must have misremembered the circumstance. I assume you know that you need to add an alpha channel (Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel) to create transparency.as I wrote in # 3 and expand here: I had a misunderstanding of how it worked and thought that there was a way to use one frame as a background for all the other frames (each of which have transparent elements), this being done so because without this approach the gif is too big.

GIMP's differencing engine will then determine which pixels can be made transparent and which must change from frame to frame. I make these by stacking the opaque frames up as layers then saving as a GIF. In comparison, it's harder to ignore the repetition of the motion of Nodame's hair in the fourth animation. If a GIF has been previously saved with cumulative layers, and I delete the first few frames, it messes up the rest of the GIF because the later frames were relying on the (now deleted) color information. If you only saw Chizuko's hair and the flames, you be more apt to notice that the animation repeats the same sequence of frames endlessly. Choosing one frame per layer causes each of the GIF's layers to save all of its pixels, not relying on any of the pixels from the last frame. We don't really notice the transition back to the beginning of the sequence so the image looks to be seamless. The third example demonstrates how our minds create the illusion of continous motion. The main thing that differentiates the "background" frame in this case is that it remains on-screen for a longer period of time. The second is more complex because each frame is substantially different from the preceding one. The rest of the sequence is differenced against that. You should Merge your text with all layers to have it for the whole duration. In the first one, there's only one opaque background frame. 2.Right click on text's layer > Merge Down so it merges Text Layer with the layer that's at bottom of this. Here are a few examples that you can examine in GIMP using the Layers window: The differencing engine should preserve the initial white background and make a sequence of differenced layers that are largely transparent. You need to stack the sequence of opaque images, then tell GIMP to save as a GIF.

I suspect you didn't do the differencing properly. The problem with your spinning image is that the white background is only in one frame.
