This is a bit off topic but a bit on topic as well:

I’ve made some composites in PS CS and I want to make a .gif with them. My first and second attempts had the pictures misaligned (real word?) so the gif did not display properly. It’s not for the web or email so size doesn’t really matter. How can I aligned these so that it appears as one picture instead of many?

Please don’t suggest Image Ready as I spent nearly a half day yesterday with this. I think the learning curve is a bit too steep for this shallow mind. I use a small freeware program called Unfreeze to assemble the pictures.

Thank you.

You need to be more explicit.
Do all you different pictures have the same single colour background? Are you cutting subjects out or are you simply just pasting the pics together?

Perhaps if you placed a link for us to see the pic it would help? PS – pop on over to our forum and get some friendly specific advice.

I think he’s taking about object on layers misaligned but I’m not sure. What this has to do with Canvas Size is a mystery to me.

Sorry about the confusing information.
I have a picture of a friend. I have a picture of Superman. I started with a background layer and then added Superman. I then extracted my friends head from his picture. I placed it over Superman’s head. I then duplicated the composite and made slight changes to indicate my friend (Superman) was flying. I made a few "frames" and then put them into Unfreeze which made them into a gif.

The problem arises when playing the gif. One frame has Superman here and the next frame has him in a slightly different place on the canvas.

I guess I just need to do more reading. Thanks for the invite to the forum and thanks for your time edjh.
