# That's not what I want to do, I want to prepare my frames beforehand. In the DECENT image editor.
Not the daft one that comes in imageready.

# I'm saying you don't need to use imageready for anything at all.
You can open gifs in Imageready, move them over to Photoshop and sort out the layers the way you want them in photoshop, open the Animation panel (through the 'Window' drop down list) and make frames from layers that way - it saves you pissing about in imageready at all, outside opening the gif.
You can make animations using only photoshop, and save them with the save for web panel in photoshop without having to do anything at all in imageready.

# Oh you meant the animation window in PS, yeah that moves my shit around too.

# Yes, you need to make the layers the way you want them before opening them in frames.
If you need to edit the frames, you delete all of them (except one - IN THE ANIMATION WINDOW, not Layers!) then change the layers.
Then you click the arrow at the top right of the animation panel (assuming you're in windows, I don't use a mac) and select "Make frames from layers" to reimport the frames.

# Rebuilding the animation from scratch seems to work.
I don't know about "make frames from layers" as I need to reuse and overlay the text frames.

# have you tried making a single pixel width frame around each layer
then cropping the finnished thing by one pixel when its where you want it?
