Troubleshooting/Tips

  • Supports PNG files up to 512x512
  • Touch and hold to select color when using pencil, line or fill
  • On iPad, touch the current tool button to toggle visibility of the tool options
  • here is a list of the buttons with descriptions
  • Onion skin: press onion button once to set relative onion skin, twice for locked onion skin. Relative will maintain the frame difference between current frame and onion frame, Locked will stay on the same frame if you change current editing frame

Sprite Something is made by just one guy, so help a guy out. Let me know if there are errors, or what could help make the app better. If reporting an error, please explain as best you can what is going wrong and what you are doing when it happens. Including image size and frame size will probably help.
