Do you want edit frames and layers? Use the film editor:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

\image filmedit.pcx

|

|
|
|
|

|
\image onion.pcx
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Remember that only the current layer is used as onionskin, also, it's
|
|
|
|
|
|
useful only when this layer has the mask color as background.

When you apply some effect (like Convolution Matrix, or Color Curves),

you can choose the target channels:

|
|
|
|
|
