PSP 7/Animation Shop 3 tip
If your using an animation for an icon and it's too dark. For example I've pulled many stills from the movie The Crow and since it's a dark movie once tha animation is reduced in size to fit it's almost unseeable.
I JUST figured this out! I was exporting each frame into PSP and altering the lighting and fading to make the images lighter. However the easiest way to do it is like this
1. Highlight all of your animation in Animation Shop 3
2. Right Click and select Export Frames To Paint Shop Pro
3. You'll end up with on image in PSP with mulitple layers(1 layer for each frame in the animation)
4. Do all the editing you need to each layer
5. Close the image
6. PSP will ask you if you want to update your animation in Animation Shop, hit yes
7. All done, now all the frames of your animation are updated:)
