Merging Image Layers - Ulead GIF ANIMATOR 4.0 User Manual

Merging image layers

There are two ways to merge images in GIF Animator. Simple cross-layer merging allows you
to combine one image layer with another, creating a new image layer that is a hybrid of the
two. Background merging allows you to select multiple layers and then merge each one with a
common background layer.
To merge images:
1 Click the Layer: Merge Images menu
command. The Merge Images dialog box
opens.
2 Select the images you want to merge
together. Images are merged so that the
higher-numbered layers apear in front of
(on top of) the lower numbered layers.
3 Select the Replace original layers option
to remove the selected layers and replace
them with the new merged layer.
4 Click OK to apply the merge settings.
To merge image layers to a background:
1 Click the Layer: Background Merge
menu command. The Background Merge
dialog box opens.
2 Select the background to which you want
to merge the other image layers from the
Background menu.
3 Select the layers to be individually merged
with the chosen background layer.
4 Click OK to apply the merge settings.
