|
||
\image zoom.pcx
|
||
|
||
Use the <1>, <2>, <3>, <4>, <5> and <6> keys to set the zoom in the
|
||
current editor's viewport.
|
||
|
||
You can use the mouse wheel too.
|
||
**********************************************************************
|
||
\image eyedropper.pcx
|
||
|
||
You can pick a color from the sprite using <Alt+Left button>. This
|
||
replaces the ``Tool Foreground Color''.
|
||
|
||
<Alt+Right button> replaces the ``Tool Background Color'' and the <X>
|
||
switches the Foreground and Background colors.

**********************************************************************
|
||
\image anicontrols.pcx

||
The animation controls appears when you put the mouse above the status bar.
|
||
|
||
Also you can move through frames using the keyboard:
|
||
|
||
\split
|
||
<Left> = go to previous frame
|
||
|
||
<Home> = go to first frame
|
||
\next
|
||
<Right> = go to next frame
|
||
|
||
<End> = go to last frame
|
||
\done
|
||
|
||
<Enter> = play animation
|
||
**********************************************************************
|
||
\image aniedit.pcx
|
||
|
||
Do you want edit layers, frames and cels? Use the ``Animation Editor''.
|
||
|
||
Go to ``Tools > Animation Editor'' menu or press <Tab> key when you are
|
||
editing a sprite.
|
||
**********************************************************************
|
||
\image newframe.pcx
|
||
|
||
You can add new animation frames pressing <N> key or using
|
||

|
||
\image onion.pcx
|
||
|
||
You can use the onion-skinning feature to edit animations (press <C>
|
||
key to see the ``Tools Setup'' window). The onion-skinning works only
|
||
for transparent layers, the ``Background'' layer can't be used.
|
||
**********************************************************************
|
||
When you apply some effect (like Convolution Matrix, or Color Curves),
|
||
you can choose the target channels:
|
||
\split
|
||
\image tar_rgb.pcx
|
||
* R: Red channel
|
||
* G: Green channel
|
||
* B: Blue channel
|
||
* A: Alpha channel
|
||
\next
|
||
\image tar_gray.pcx
|
||
* K: Black channel
|
||
* A: Alpha channel
|
||
\next
|
||
\image tar_indx.pcx
|
||
* R: Red channel
|
||
* G: Green channel
|
||
* B: Blue channel
|
||
* Index: Use directly the index
|
||
\done
|
||
|
||
Also you will be able to specify to what images apply the effect:
|
||
|
||
\split
|
||
\image tar_1.pcx
|
||
Current frame in current layer
|
||
\next
|
||
\image tar_2.pcx
|
||
All frames of current layer
|
||
\next
|
||
\image tar_3.pcx
|
||
All layers in current frame
|
||
\next
|
||

|
||

|
||
\done
|

|
||

|
||
vertex with the right mouse button, the ``Point Properties'' window (to
|
||
change the coordinates manually) will be appears.
|
||
