# Threadjack
In loloshop, does anyone know how to make changes to a layer, like filters or whatever, and not have them affect all the other frames?
Or is it even possible?

# Ctrl-click
on the layer to select only the layer contents, then make sure whatever you do is on the layer above, like colour changes etc.

*edit* on Macs I guess it'll be option-click.

# Wait!
wait wait wait...

See, you ask about photoswap, but then you mention frames which implies you're actually using Ovenready.

No, you can't change a layer and have it not affect all the frames - you'll have to duplicate the layer and make the changes on the duplicate.

# That indeed
Is what I have been doing, sorry for the confusion.

I had been doing that, but it's a bit of royal rectum pain.

# You could try
Animation Shop, from the Paint Shop Pro suite... it does the "edit the frame not the layer" thing, but then it doesn't do the "make one layer and move it all over the place" thing AFAIK which is what makes IR more useful IMO.

# I wondered about that
when I reread the original! If I need to change a layer in ovenready I reset the frame box to frame 1, jump back to tattyshop, change the layer then jump back to ovenready. Saves muchos pissing about.

# Whenever possible
I like to make all my frames in Photoslop before jumping... although I'm not above jumping back either - I don't think there's a need to reset which frame you're viewing though.

PS just does a couple of things differently, like brush size selection and text entry - small stuff, but it makes you wonder why they couldn't put the same coding in both programs (or even all the coding into one...)

# as long as you set the new layer to transparent
before going back to IR, it's not too much pain.
