I do not understand that bit, last time I installed python for a Windows Gimp it was a Gimp version 2.2 round about 2004 However.

Quote:I'm guessing I need to learn more about layers though, I asummed I could select a wheel, from my image (well it's a tape reel actually) then rotate it, but it rotates the whole image, it's really fast so would save an awful lot of time.

I guess the same.   Maybe this will help: https://youtu.be/l_7sP5TO29c  Duration 9 minutes






Some extra tools needed. So they are all from one place, using Ofnuts plugins (other scripts / plugins are available)
ofn-rotate-layer.py https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to...p/download
ofn-layers-to-image-size.py https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to...p/download
ofn-interleave-layers.py https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to...p/download

All python and go in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins (or for linux users ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins )

These can be really annoying

"I do not understand that bit " understandable, but frustrating, when you have no idea that you need Python installed for those plugins to show up.

The video should be a big help, very similar to what I want to achieve, I'll download the other plugins you recomend, If they work as well as the rotate plug, then they well worth having, thanks Rich, searched many times on YouTube for wheel animation vids, but never came across that one.
