Making this GIF wider?

[DanUK]

Hello!

Hope you're all well.

Okay, new problem!!!

I have this GIF which I'm using as a background, however we now need to make it a little wider. Basically, as you'll see, the "middle" of the GIF is just plain white - we want to make that "white" only another 60px wider of just "white". I've tried doing it in GIMP, but I cannot simply extend the white in the middle, instead I end up mucking up the left and right gradients, so it looks completely wrong as a background.

If anyone else can get this going it'd be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks again.

Here we go. The GIF is attached to this post.

Like this?
This image is now 1060px wide whilst the two gradients still sit at either end of the gif? Is that what you wanted?

Hello,

Yes, that's exactly it, thank you VERY much indeed.

Now hopping over to the CSS to ask a new query about this background ... it's exactly what we need but some problems with it. Won't get into it here as it's not topical to this Graphics forum.

Just out of curiosity please, what did you use to edit it?

Whatever I was trying was just making it worse, and worse!

Thanks again.

Glad to help. I used Photoshop 7. Added 60px to the canvas size (width) then selected and moved each gradient back to the edges of the image.
