Can Photoshop or PSP join GIFs?

| Is it possible to join GIFs in either Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro?
If so, then how is it done?

It's certainly possible in PSP.

Which part of the process is confusing you? The color in
a GIF file is defined by a palette, not by per-pixel RGB
values. Consequently the two GIFs have to have the same
palette to be combined without any color change. In PSP
you can edit the palette with Image > Palette > Edit
Palette. When the two palettes are the same, you can
enlarge one of the GIFs to make room for the second one
you want to join by using Image > Add Borders to create
a border along one edge. Select the border you added,
do Edit > Copy on the second image, and then do Edit >
Paste Into Selection on the first. Finish with Selections >
Select None.
Alternatively, you can avoid all the problems of a limited
palette by doing Image > Increase Color Depth > 16 Million
Colors. Now you can use any standard PSP tools or layers
to combine the images. Once done, decrease the color depth
to 256 colors or fewer using Image > Decrease Color Depth
or File > Export > GIF Optimizer.

Yes and no. Technically there no.longer gifs when loaded into a Graphics
editor. But how do you wish to join them, side by side or embed them into
one another. For side by side create a new image with twice the width or
height as the biggest gif then copy paste each gif into it and adjust with
the mover tool and or the deform tool. Some tools should you wish to use
them will require that you increase to colour depth to 16 mill. but when you
use the gif optimizer you will drop it back to 256. If there animated gif
you will lose the animation if opened in psp but not if opened in animation
shop but adding two animations together is a whole new ball game

If you mean in an animation, yes, at least with Photoshop and ImageReady.
Jasc has Animation Shop. You can open any animated GIF in ImageReady and get
access to every individual frame. You can then jump to Photoshop
(CTRL+SHFT+M) and play with it even more. If you try to open it in
Photoshop, you will only get the first frame and nothing else.
You can create your own animations in Photoshop and ImageReady. Prep in
Photoshop, animate in ImageReady.
But if all you want to do is join two static GIFs, you will have to change
color mode from index to RGB. Index doesn't support multiple layers. You
will need to change the canvas size too.

| If you have animation shop, and these are animated gifs you are talking
about, you can open each animation and save all the individual frames. Then
you can edit the individual frames in your graphics editor ae.. Paint Shop
Pro. Then you can reassemble the animation in any combination you like.
Either with newly created combined images, or the original frames.

I use Paint Shop Pro for my .gif editing and PSP does a very good job.
However what you are asking requires a bit more detailed instructions
but you can think of it like adding your cartoon to another's cartoon.
