Specify onion skin settings (Photoshop Extended)
Onion skin mode displays content drawn on the current frame plus content drawn on the surrounding frames. These additional strokes appear at the opacity you specify to distinguish them from the strokes on the current frame. Onion skin mode is useful for drawing frame-by-frame animations because it gives you reference points for the stroke positions.
Use onion skin settings to specify how previous and forward strokes (surrounding the current frame) appear when Onion Skin is enabled during playback in the Animation palette.
- Specify options for the following:
- Onion Skin Count
- Specifies how many previous and forward frames are displayed. Enter the Frames Before (previous frames) and Frames After (forward frames) values in the text boxes.
- Frame Spacing
- Specifies the number of frames between the displayed frames. For example, a value of 1 displays consecutive frames, and a value of 2 displays strokes that are two frames apart.
- Max Opacity
- Sets the percentage of opacity for the frames immediately before and after the current time.
- Min Opacity
- Sets the percentage of opacity for the last frames of the before and after sets of onion‑skin frames.
- Blend Mode
- Sets the appearance of the areas where the frames overlap.
