Well, you're right! I just checked and DPaint does reset the page size when you load an anim. Pretty stupid, if you ask me. But I found that I could create a 352×440 anim by 1) having the individual pics on disk, named 'test.0001' … 'test.0030' (ie. alphabetical order, the way DPaint likes it). Then go to the load file requestor, and type in 'test.0001' as the file name, and type in 30 for the number of frames to load. It then asks you if you want to reset the page size to 352×440, same as the file. Say 'yes' and it will create a 352×440 anim for you. At least that way you can bring the pics you save individual files from within V3D, and make an anim with them, and alter them, in DPaint. (Of course for resizing, etc, you should check out ADPro, which will allow you to resize, crop, reduce colors, optimize colors, generate gray-scale and line art, etc, etc, etc. —- but you've been overloaded with product names already!) Have fun. –jp–seattle–
