Yup, especially when I already had it over a year ago and it worked then until I re installed Gimp. Remember, the files will be quite a lot larger with this compared to gif.

I think I realised what my problem with it before was... apng files are not supported by google chrome which is my main browser on my laptop can anyone who uses firefox or something tell me if this is seen as an animation?

No Jamie... Sorry.
It's frozen in time. Using Firefox here.

DO I just put that in the same plugin folder in the GIMP lib?

Yes you put them both in the same folder after you extract them that Slide said above.

Yeah what I mean is with those files the option doesn't come up in the dropdown menu.

Jamie, did you save it as a .png and then down at the bottom select this

Jamie990 · **Joined:** Dec 03, 2011 **Posts:** 149

What I mean is that isn't showing up I installed the second set of two files and nothing...

Molly how are you doing the partial screen shots? I send mine to Screencast all of the time and takes a bit to get mine back.
Thanks

Slide, It's a little program that comes with windows 7. It is called "Snipping tool." It is so easy and you can hi-lite with it underline, erase and use other colors for hi-lite.

You can also click prtScn on your keyboard then open Paint then ctrl-V to paste.
