Easy way to line up layers for animation
Submitted by Jemima ~ with thanks to Molly

This tutorial was written using PSP 8

This is a little trick I use to line up my frames and layers, so it is easy and quick...

When you have to copy merged and paste as a new image, and then paste new layers on top of that, before you do it, add an new layer and use paintbrush to draw spots in each corner of the frame.

Then, copy merged, paste as new image, then paste as a new layer.
Delete the first layer.
Layers pasted after that will line up for you without problems.
Just remember to have your paint spots far enough away from your picture so when you are finished pasting the new layer, you can just use crop tool to crop out the paint spots.
No more having to zoom in and trying to line up the pixels!

You may share my tutorials if you leave them intact.
