This surprised me a bit. I wanted to add the "illuminated" red text to the above cartoon. And of course .gif does not support partial transparency, so the glow around the letters was a problem.
See my "work in progress" screen here (large) https://i.imgur.com/aHVH8nA.png
As you will notice, I was planning on using the full sized background file, with just a smaller layer to show the reddened text. Utilizing the (combine) attribute on both layers. This strategy has worked well for me with gifs numerous times...but alas the partial transparency....so I decided to go with .webp
And, it worked. But I was surprised to discover that gimp automatically generated a duplicate of the back ground layer in it's entirety, and combined that with the red letters to create a new second layer, at full size. You can download the above image and open it in gimp to verify.
Basically it "deoptimized" the animation, in conventional .gif parlance
Which gave me sort of a "duh" moment, realizing that I could have done the same thing with a gif, and managed the partial transparency in a way that .gif would not plunder.
But, there is a silver lining. The .webp version is still half the file size compared to a "doctored" gif version.

Hello. I have a question or two please?
Gimp leopard pattern. I need to make the spots small so when I print them they can fit on something that is 1 and a 1/2 inch in length and a 1/4 inch wide. How can do I do that? Also what is the last full version where the patterns were already installed? Any help would be greatly appreciated ❤️
Oh the print size paper is 24x36 I don’t know if this info is needed

Hi. I'm trying to find out how to merge a series of different .png files using GIMP 2.10.0.0. You can see the layout I want to use in the attached image. If I were to create a file with the typical horizontal width of 8.50 letter size, and a vertical measurement of 11.0 x the total number of .png images, and then pasted them one after another on the newly created file, what would happen if I print it on 8.50 x 11.0 paper? This might be obvious to some people , but I don't know. I'd be grateful for any solution.
Thanks,
Dawna_R
