How to trace an image in OpenToonz?

[Karthiban Varathan]

APologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find an answer on the forum.

I would like to import an image onto OpenToonz so I can trace it. I am a complete beginner with animation, I have drawn all my frames by hand on paper, I have some images I need to trace. My question is, how do I import the jpeg into OT as a tracing layer, and I can just go over the lines of the image while it draws on another layer (hope this makes sense).

Please help.

Thanks

1) Go to your Xsheet/scene,

2) on any "Col" and right click "import magpie" file

3) select your image

4) trace within the same col or different col
