<Image>/Filters

Animation  Playback... This plugin allows you to preview a GIMP layer-based animation.
Optimize (for GIF) This procedure applies various optimizations to a GIMP layer-based animation in an attempt to reduce the final file size. If a frame of the animation can use the 'combine' mode, this procedure attempts to maximize the number of ajdacent pixels having the same color, which improves the compression for some image formats such as GIF or MNG.
Optimize (Difference) This procedure applies various optimizations to a GIMP layer-based animation in an attempt to reduce the final file size. If a frame of the animation can use the 'combine' mode, this procedure uses a simple difference between the frames.
UnOptimize This procedure 'simplifies' a GIMP layer-based animation that has been AnimationOptimized. This makes the animation much easier to work with if, for example, the optimized version is all you have.
