In order to make this thread embarrassing, maybe I should post up my own observations. I just got my unlock code, so it's time for me to take this seriously. Obviously the manual is useful, but it's handy sometimes to have a little focus. It's not as though I use all of Photoshop, for example.

Random observations:

- 1+2 to cycle through animations is of course very handy.
- The tooltips are excellent in this program.
- H and Shift H are handy for resizing your current brush. I use this all the time in photoshop with the square brackets, so it's handy to find an equivalent.
- '.' for single pixel is also a godsend
- Pressing the G in the AFGS buttons (top left-ish) locks the palette to be universal for all animation frames.
- It seems to require a little hand holding. It doesn't like transparent PNGs (or rather treats the BG as white), and it often messes up the colours when I try to reduce the colours on a 2 colour animation. I've found myself using 8-bit PNG to stop it from choking when importing files from Photoshop.

So far I'm a little overwhelmed by it, but firing up a couple of my animations I can see how it can improve my workflow and ultimately improve my work whilst saving me time.

A few questions:

- Is there any temporary shortcut for panning the canvas?
I know I can switch with Alt+N, but in Photoshop I use the space-to-pan thing pretty often, and it's notable by its absence here.

- Is there a shortcut for toggling foreground and background colour?
This is especially relevant when I'm trying to pipette a new background colour with Ctrl.

This looks great, but it doesn't seem to be a 'whip' necessarily. It's more like a bendy piece of rubber or a chain perhaps. I love the motion blur though.

I really like the way the new water turned out. Looking forward to seeing the corners!

I think the animation could be better, so that each frame blends into the next frame, somewhat.... wait, on second viewing I can see that it is scrolling, I misread it at first (worth knowing that it can happen though). I think you have to see a body of water to understand how it looks truly.   

Looking good so far! 

I think your water needs white froth / edge treatment when it hits the shore. I also think it's too high contrast right now - it's quite distracting from the rest of the scene, so you might want to tone if down a bit.
