# Ah
I assumed you were talking about PS, I thought there was an option I'd missed.

Yes, the way I use it, it handles them as layers. Erasing all non-moving parts on a layer-by-layer basis would be a lot of work in most cases I reckon.
Ok, I just re-read your edit... yeah, you could overlay the non-moving parts which are common to all layers, but since they're common to all layers, they won't move anyway, so I don't think that's going to change the finished file-size. Not sure though.... I'll look into this.

# if it's not moving then it should auto ignore - if not, potatoshop is a twat
but herman's is full of noise where it needn't be, so I'm saying paste a copy of the first frame where you don't need motion to sort it.

# Yeah, it does auto-ignore, at least that's the default option.
The noise I'm seeing in Herman's post may be due to diffusion? I tend not to use it, since it often really inflates the filesize.

# diffusion shouldn't be a problem if the layers are identical
I'm guessing he's using After Effects which was always an utter cockbucket when it came to such things, it's not exactly aimed for the animated gif market though so I suppose it's excused.
