# Edit Layer Attributes

## General

Lets you specify the name of the current layer. The name can also hold important information about how to interpret a possible animation of the layers (e.g. if you save the image as a GIF you can set options about how to play the animated GIF).

### Animation Attributes

The animation attributes is specified as follows. `Layer_Name (delay in ms) (combination_mode)` e.g. `Frame_1 (100ms) (replace)`

The delay will specify the time each frame is visible in the animation. A delay of e.g. hundred milliseconds will have the following format: `(100ms)`.

The combination mode will specify if you will combine with the previous layer or replace it. The two modes are either `(combine)` or `(replace)`.
