--- Comment #2 from peacecop kalmer: <kal...@test.tennis24.ee> --- Thanks for a lot of information! However, none of it explains how exactly can I make a use of a new layer for my current frames. This is also the reason why I think that the manual is too poor. It could be a video manual, not a textual one or if it's a textual one, every single step should be included. Too many steps are missing. Maybe it's useful for experienced users of /krita/ but I'm a first-timer animation trier in /krita/ and just can't follow the manual. I can't help with the manual neither because of the same reason: I don't know how the software works.
