[Gimp-user] Animation solution!

2008-04-10 Thread Lap1994
As everyone know. A animation is various frames drawned one after other.  
To create a animation, the current frame and the previous frame have to  
looks like, however have to have a difference. To this happen you have to  
look the current frame and the previous frame, and then check if is  
changed correct and if is changed where you want.

That waste a time. Because you have to toggle the visible of frames to  
check and check until you have certain that is correct.

Well, the solution is very very simple. Is just make the previous frame  
50% transparent. Then the current frame will have a shadow of the previous  
frame. This way you can see what is what.

Yes. This is called 'onion-skinning'. GIMP-GAP includes support for
onion-skinning; If you are creating animations that require the use of
onion-skinning, it's better to use the GIMP-GAP plugins; GIMP itself
has only basic animation support.
