The best analogy is to the way cartoons used to be animated. Each component of a scene would be painted on a transparent film, and then each film would be stacked or layered over the other to produce the complete composition. In this way, you could easily animate a person walking because his legs could be animated independantly of his body, for example. Similarly, complex images can be broken down to layers within GIMP and each layer can be processed independentlly of every other. See similar questions...

Well, we can't, for two reasons, but you might be able to. Google Earth requires both broadband Internet and a PC. We use Macs and we don't have anywhere near broadband capability. Frappr works best for us. But if you want to see where we are, you can get the zip code from our Frappr map or www.usps.com, and then use Google Earth to explore the area. See similar questions...

I actually used a script that I wrote myself to digitise my route. It displays a Google map, and when I click on the map, it displays the longitude and latitude of the resulting point in a format I can copy out and paste into a text file. I then apply a few regular expressions to the file, and out pops a Google Maps XML file, as well as a Google Earth KML file. This system proved to be in tune with my needs – it pays to be a programmer sometimes! See similar questions...

Absolutely. While the mini Google Notebook allows you to save clips of information without leaving the webpage you're on, you can organize and review your notebooks most easily in the full-page view. To access the full-page view, just click on the Open in full page link in your mini Google Notebook, or log in directly at www.google.com/notebook. If you are using the Firefox browser, you can also pop out the mini notebook, using the arrow icon in the titlebar. See similar questions...

If you are placing layers on a page based on a centered template then a layer can move significantly. This happens if the cursor was inside the centered area at the time you created the layer and is only visible after you have saved. Make sure that you click at the top left of such a page before you insert a new layer. Then it will stay correctly positioned. Minor movements in layers may occur between edit content mode and after saving the page. Always go by the page as it appears once saved. See similar questions...

Older or lower performance Graphics cards are sometimes capable of running Google Earth in normal 2D, but will not function in 3D. Google Earth will lock up or hang soon after starting. Unfortunately, there is no solution apart from using a more capable Graphics Card. See similar questions...
