Make a new layer at the top

Then get the pencil tool and make a black line 1px tall along the whole layer.

Then copy/paste to cover the image.

This is my method, I'm sure its quicker another way.

yes

take the one line, dupe layer, move down 2 pixels, merge. Now you have a layer with 2 lines. Dupe that, move it, and merge, and repeat -- it grows exponentially.

This is exactly what I do =]

Someone has said something about a pattern thingie, but I am yet to discover where this is..

I find my way to be reliable enough, I don't care if it takes time, my animations all take fucking hours anyway ^_^

[..arr,

try:
make new file. 1x2
top pixel black,
bottom pixel transparent
save as scanline.psd
Edit,Define Pattern
then in original image/anim:
new top layer,
Edit,Fill,choose pattern
choose scanlines.

Would it look better with a 50% grey line?

Or a grey line at the average brightness of the overall animation?
