Hey all, I'm using GIMP 2.8 on a Windows 10 OS. I've been working for several hours on a project, and everything has been fine up until now. I have been working with GIFs, adding text and borders to them, and have run into a snag. On the first GIF I was able to add text, with a drop shadow, and a border. No issue.
The second GIF, the drop shadow does a weird 'striation/pixelation' effect when I go to duplicate my layers, in order to merge them together for the final product (to ensure every frame contains the effect). I've even gone through the process to merge the layers individually, to see if it would resolve itself...but it did not, even on the Playback.
Is there any way that I can avoid this layering issue? I didn't seem to have this problem with the first GIF, and I have done nothing different this time around, as far as I can tell.
