Specify onion skin settings
Onion skin mode displays content drawn on the current frame plus content drawn on the surrounding frames. These additional frames appear at
the opacity you specify to distinguish them from the current frame. Onion skin mode is useful for drawing frame-by-frame animations because it
gives you reference points for stroke positions and other edits.
Onion skin settings specify how previous and later frames appear when Onion Skins are enabled. (See Animation panel overview.)
1. Open the Animation panel menu (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6) and choose Onion Skin Settings.
2. Specify options for the following:
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.
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.
Sets the percentage of opacity for the frames immediately before and after the current time.
Sets the percentage of opacity for the last frames of the before and after sets of onion-skin frames.
Sets the appearance of the areas where the frames overlap.
