: Cropping different layers of a gif differently in Photoshop CS3 I have a gif of two people where one of them is moving out of the frame and I want to crop that person out of the gif entirely,

@Correia448

What I understand from your question is that you are not able to find the frames of the GIF image to edit them. You can simple go to Windows->Timeline it will show you the timeline frames of that GIF file. Though I don't have PS CS3, but it would be same in that version as well. I have also attached one screenshot to make it easier. Also to crop the image, you won't need to crop the dimensions, just select (M marquee tool) delete the object from the frame, it will be the best.


Thanks, Hope the answer is helpfull.

GIFs don't have layers as such. They contain a series of images, and each image after the first isn't so much a complete image as a set of deltas ... the differences between the original image and the next.

IOW, I don't think you can do this directly, but you may be able to find software that exports the GIF to a series of individual images, do the editing you need on those, then recombine to a single GIF.
