[Suggestion] Graphic editor new function

I found this idea on my Nintendo DSi, on a programm named Flipnote (don't know if it was already suggested).
I suggest a new function on the graphic editor to help you:
When you create a new costume, you can active an option who show the ghost of the precedent costume:

It's really helpfull on Flipnote and I think it would be nice on Scratch.

Nice idea. But would you be able to change how the stickman looks?

I feel silly asking this, but are you talking about a form of Onion skinning?

Sorry but I don't get it. What stickman and what costume?

I didn't know the name (Onion skinning), but yes I am talking about something like that for the editor. The "ghost effect" would be visible only on the editor to help you, not when you are playing.

Re: [Suggestion] Graphic editor new function

This would definitely help, but you should be able to turn it off if you want. I know that a watermark would get annoying if I was drawing a new costume that was completely unrelated to the previous one.

Oh, we suggested this already. You can look at this topic: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic … 5#p397325]

Specifically at my post. I made a mockup.

Look the second screenshot: you can check or uncheck "Show the ghost of the precedent costume" (the design isn't perfect I made it fast).
