Setting the Amount of Neighbouring Panels to Include in Onion Skin

When you enable Onion Skin, by default, only the previous and next panels will be included in the Onion Skin. You can however include up to three previous panels and up to three next panels in the Onion Skin.

The amount of previous panels and next panels to include in the Onion Skin work independently. For example, you can display 1 previous panel and 3 next panels in the Onion Skin simultaneously.

NOTE You can change the maximum amount of panels to include in the Onion Skin in the Camera Tab of the Preferences dialog—see Camera and Stage Preferences.
