Animation - Onion Skin Shift & Trace, Move & Rotate

One feature that is super useful for Animators is the ability to temporarily shift the image displayed by the light-table, that way one can keep the volume of a drawing consistent. It simulates what a traditional animator would do when shifting the page below, and TVpaint has it directly in the Onion skin window(see link below)

something like that would be amazing, it would make Krita even better for animators

Thanks!

I don’t animate, but that sounds like a neat idea.

If you should have free votes left, you should consider voting for your own request. :slight_smile:

It shouldn’t be that difficult to make on its own (just saving the position); however everyone always also asks for rotation. Still doable, I guess.
