The basics of easytoon
start off i have easytoon translated (the newest don’t know were u can get it but i will get a link up here soon)u will see this screen :

this is the starting screen if you open up easytoon.
What you see here is a image of the toolbar u will need to animate.
on the next pictures i will explain all the buttons from left to right.

New animation – if u click this button u will start a new animation

Save – you can save your animations here!
make gif – with this button you can create a .gif file to see your animation without using eztoon.

Delete frame – deletes the current frame
clear frame – erases everything that shows up in the current frame
Duration – shows how long the frame must last ( don’t know what unit it’s used for i think 0.1 second per 1)

Next onion skin – shows u the ghost of the next frame (in red)
Zoom – let’s you zoom in

Selection tool – you can select a piece of image and copy/cut/transform it
Pen tool – most common tool used to animate makes you draw lines

eraser size – the size of your eraser (right click to erase, actually the eraser is a white version of the other drawing tools)
black to white – switches the left click black to left click white and right click white to right click black
copy image mask – not sure what it does i think it copies the whole scene(doesn’t work for me because it gives weird signs)

View animation – also let’s you view the animation you made
segment range 1 – insert the number were u want to see you animation from
Preview segment – shows the segment u have chosen
segment range 2 – insert the number were u want to end the show of your animation

free scale – freeley scale your selection
proportional scale – precise scale your current selection
rotate scale – rotate your current selection
polygon scale – select a square from your selection and move it to were your image needs to be manipulated
flip horizontal – the name does the trick
flip vertical – the name does the trick
swap colors – black goes to white white goes to black in the current frame
