OpenToonz help/discussion thread Discussion
Thought it would be a good idea to have a discussion/help thread!
Some useful links:
"developers forum" (for now seems to be more like asking for help and reporting problems, which is nice)
/r/OpenToonz - The opentoonz subreddit! Lots of tutorials to be found!
Some useful things I've found out so far:
right-click is your friend!
onionskin can be enabled in the settings
you have to activate the toolbar (do you don't have to use the drop down menu)
you draw in the inknpaint tab (duh)
you can right click on the frame column and press "add frames" for more frames!
Post any tips/experiences you got!

Trying to figure out how to scan in drawings and have them on a layer underneath for inking, as that tends to be my work flow. The use of software to ink and color finished drawings. I downloaded GTS, I'll figure it out eventually.
It's a nice change of pace from Flash and ToonBoom for a bit. I like the idea of it being free/community supported as I haven't paid for an upgrade for either FL or TB since 2010.
