Workspace

The Sprite editor is used to manipulate the sprites (images) of the project. The graphic workspace contains the rulers, guide lines, OnionSkin image, current sprite image and the axis cross. Some of these can be enabled/disabled in the View menu.

You can change the position of the image by dragging it to the desirable position. The guide lines can be placed in the same way. All other points will move the axis and background image.

When on image editor mode, the workspace displays the current sprite as a layer, so you can use the available editing tools to do changes in the sprite's image. Selections in this mode are a mask, so you can even paint the selection as in professional tools.

The zoom can be changed using the mouse wheel.
