PAP 4 had a completely different internal system. This new one makes it possible to scale and rotate without any line degradation. Also having drawings outside your frame, without anything being lost or cut off, when moving it back into frame. Many other advantages with this too. But what you talk about is one of the few drawbacks. I would say, that you normally don’t do numerous numbers of lassoes in the same drawing, however, we will look into optimizing these things soon to make sure it works as well as can be.

Thanks a lot for your points! All of them we already have on our list and will consider carefully. Most is easy to implement, your Photoshop brush point is exactly what we hope to do, but it might turn out very difficult (impossible). Some kind of brush system (if not PS compatible) will going to be a reality at some point I’m sure.
In reply to: Adding a Background afterwards
If you just import a png, jpg or gif with your background image, preferably in the correct size/resolution, then it will show up as a reference layer set to 50% opacity.
Make sure this layer is behind all others (drag the buttons left/right at the bottom of the x-sheet) and turn up the opacity to 100%.
That will do it!
Actually this will be covered, I believe, by our annotations feature (to come soon). You will be able to write (scribble) notes, like numbers with key-circles, charts and everything else in the row “annotations” in the x-sheet. Also you can drag this row over next to any other row (layer) and even link it, so when you alter anything timingwise in your animation, your scribbles (line for line) in the annotations row will follow their respective drawings.

Thank you, Kuya, for this list. Very good points! And actually they are all on our todolist already! 🙂
Some of them, like the crop tool, will not be exactly like PS, but fitting Animation Papers other tools. The point is that you will get what you need – like moving/scaling multiple drawings at a time, etc.

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation! Much appreciated!
I actually really like your first option!
The second I agree with has this built in problem that automatic numbers would change, as you say.
I like that if you are not using this feature (your first suggestion), everything is just looking fine and simple. Then if you are advanced enough to need it, then you can just take it into use. And because the drawings are often so similar anyway, having a symbol (letter) occluding part of the x-sheet thumbnail doesn’t change anything – it will only help.
This is going onto our todo! Thank you VERY much Pharan!
So, given that the “iffy” behaviour of A clears the drawing is correct, then the above list of points (actions and undo’s) is correct I would say.
In respect to your points, please note, that A causes it to create a new blank drawing. Pressing Esc will lose the floating selection (not clear the already empty drawing). Then Undo will bring the floating selection back (as you say). And Undo again will take it all back to where the drawing was a held clone.
But all my explaining doesn’t matter 🙂 The point is that you are right there’s something not right about A clearing the drawing. What I want is for both things to be able to happen (either not-clear or clear). I’ll think of a way. Aaaaanyway! 🙂
