Animation solution!

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.
