Thanks for the help. Just before seeing Philip's reply I hit on the 
animation filters in the gimp
and they did the job perfectly first time and much faster than I could 
have got the job done in
photoshop . I think Ill try the imagemagick option now it might save me 
a lot of time when I
need to update the site.

Thanks Lads
