# alopergies for the repost


2 - probably obvious imageready question as im a macrodmedia man usually

a - how do you switch on onion skinning ?
b - why does it create a new layer every time you duplicate a frame ?

yes you are my bitches

a) No idea what onion skinning is, sorry.
b) Each frame is essentially the same PSD file (same layers and everything) but can have different layers switched on/off and positions, as well as layer blending options. However, the content of the layer as well as any transformations are the same across all frames.

# ah ok
its a bit confusing

onion skinning is where you see the contets of the previous frame over your current frame - but much lighter

thus making animating easier

# In which case
Switch on the previous layer and wind down the opacity, then hide it again.
However, any changes you make to a layer in frame one are propagated to all the other frames (very annoying!) so to switch that off, right-click the layer and untick "Propagate Frame 1 Changes".

He's expressed his opinion, you've expressed yours...what's to be gained by trying to wind him up?

Edit: I'm off for food, play nice kiddies ;)
