guide 3
  1. Make sure all layers except the background layer are visable and save your image as a .pspimage file.   Now we need to check the smoothness of the animation so open up Animation shop.   Then go to file->open and navigate to your image and open it.
  2. Zoom in 1:4 ( sometimes the zoom will be unavailable when you first open your image, if this happens go to view->animation then just close it).  Right click on frame F:12 and select frame properties set it to 200.   Do the same for F:14.
  3. Check to make sure that nothing in the last 3 frames move except the foot.   If nothing moves go to the next step.   Otherwise, make note of which frame(s) needs to be adjusted (these will be the layers in PSP ie: F:14=layer 14) and fix the problem in PSP.   You can close the image in Animation Shop without saving.
