ASEprite ProTips

⏺Not satisfied with your Timeline playback options? Feels too basic?⏸ 👁There is more to it than meets the eye! 👁 Adjust playback speed⏩, looping🔁, and Tag effects🔖 independently of Frame timing! 🖱Just Right-Click on the ▶Play button above the Timeline and check it out~

😕Are you sick of being TOTALLY COMFORTABLE with how you pick colours in #ASEprite?😴 Try adding or removing the lines between your colour swatches to see palettes in a REMARKABLY DIFFERENT WAY!🤯 Add the lines for a pure view of each colour! Remove them for a contrastier feel!

Indeed, although it only works if [Auto Select Layer] is toggled ON at the top of the Workspace~ (If it breaks, that is how to fix it!) You can do it by CTRL-LMB clicking the same way too, which brings you to the layer of the upper-most visible pixel! 💡Thank you for the tip!😀

O wow! Thank you, you guys! I will have to figure out some way to celebrate sometime soon~ <3 I am glad so many of you have found these little tips so useful, and hopefully I will get back to updating again soon! :D Keep on pixellin'~

↔Tired of doing math in your head when you are resizing your Canvas or Sprite? ↕Sick of dragging edges to get the right size and shape? It turns out you are covered! 🌟#ASEprite can INTERPRET EQUATIONS IN THE INPUT FIELDS!⌨ HA HA WHAT HAS THIS ALWAYS BEEN THERE?? >:0 #protip

((There is an exception to this: #ASEprite is also equipped with a semi-experimental NON-LINEAR HISTORY mode, which I admit that I have very little experience with and have not had time to try~ When enabled, I am told this allows users to create branching Undo histories! Cool!))

🔄Looking to Undo to a point in the distant past but do not want to lean on Ctrl-Z forever?⌚️ #ASEprite has an Undo History Pane that lets you scroll through everything you have done and jump directly to any specific point you like! Find it in [Edit > Undo History]! #UI #ProTip

Have a file that you are always working on? A reference image you use for *everything?* Sick of hunting through the Recent Files list or the Open File pane for that *one document you always, always need?* 📌Pin it to #ASEprite's Home screen and never search again!💾 #UI #ProTip

Bored with the default colour palette #ASEprite came with on every new image? 🎨A new selection can change how you think!💡 Pick out a new palette, then click [Save As Default Palette] in the Colour Picker's rightmost [≡] Options menu to set them as your new default! #Protips

A quick #pixelart #ProTip for you folks: Have you tried using #ASEprite's 🪞Symmetry Drawing Mode?✏️ These adjustable guides let you draw mirror images over a dragable horizontal or vertical axis, or both at once! Cannot see the buttons? Look under [ View > Symmetry Options ] !
