Selected Image Section

You can select an external application for use as an image editor with Cartoon Animator. Images edited using the "Launch" feature of the Cartoon Animator material editor will open with the image editor selected in this section.

• Click the Open File button and browse to the executable file of a suitable image editor, e.g., Adobe Photoshop.
  Alternatively, you can also click the Launch Bitmap Editor button on the Add-on tool bar of the main window.

When you click the Launch to External Image Editor button in the Composer to edit the bitmap-based elements in a sprite, you are allowed to decide the way the image is opened in the external editor.

• PNG and Separate Mask: Choose this radio button to open the image as two PNG files. One is the original image and the other is a black-and-white PNG that depicts the opacity mask.
  
• Transparent PNG: Choose this radio button to open the image as single PNG file with transparent background (alpha channel).
