My tools are used by many studios with hundreds of artists for over a decade, alas, without much payment to me.  If you have benefited from me but not bought from me, I'd appreciate the support of a donation.  It helps me continue making great tools for all.  Thank Y(  o)(o  )!

W( o)(o )tie's time saving Flash/Animate and Photoshop tools drastically speed up workflow and raise overall quality. They are software extensions (or plugins or add-ons), for your existing animation programs (for all versions of Photoshop, Flash/Animate...on Mac and Windows).  After following the simple install instructions, they appear as Panels of commands(or scripts or actions), and are then dock-able along the side of the user interface.  All these commonly used Cart( o)(o )n Animation commands, brilliantly eliminate the pain of many tedious steps, by making them into 'one-click-does-it-all' command.  W( o)(o )tie has 20 years experience in the Vancouver animation industry, in leading roles, and has been through the trenches of storyboarding and animation, so he knows what artists love and want in their workflows.

TOOL... Board Creating ...for Photoshop

$82.62

     ^            ^
  Prev.     Next
This tool converts Adobe Photoshop and Bridge into an actual storyboarding program with this set of 24 commands for creating and saving multiple panels.  Immensely simplifies the Exporting process and boosts the functionality of Photoshop's LayerComps (Comps).  The automatic file and panel numbering takes the pain out of creating panels in the intended order.  Master files are automatically created as the first panels of each shot for easy revising. These tools are known as the poor man's Flix(an existing Storyboard program costing studios around $100 000.00).

Works with LayerComps (Comps) in PSDs with 5 numeral filename naming convention and connects with your active Bridge window.

Hold Shift Key with all actions that have "~" after the name. This is for using the '00001's naming convention. Default is '00100's, which is useful when adding new panels later. Its far more versatile than using 'a's and 'b's as suffixes.
*Shift = 00001, 00002, 00003... *No Shift(default) = 00100, 00200, 00300...
