Flip & Rotation in Graphics Gale

on: April 29, 2015, 02:06:24 am
So I'm trying to use the flip and rotation tool in Graphics Gale. I know where they are and they work but once I try and press any button from the tool bar the image disappears? I want to make a reverse sprite animation, since I only have one that shows my character running forward. Thanks.

If you're flipping every frame in an animation you don't have to select anything, just go to the top and click "All Frames" -> "Flip Horizontal"

As an aside, pretty much any game engine supports flipping graphics, it'd lower your game's gfx filesize by half to just flip sprites within the game engine.

Oh well in that case I think I'll just leave it as it is then, thanks.
