Field notes
The workspace includes map navigation, layer blending and opacity controls, tile stamping, and reference-sprite placement beside or beneath the grid. Imported sprite sheets are divided using chosen frame dimensions, while animation controls expose frame timing and onion-skin settings. The photo workflow crops to a square from the center; the page also lists palette exports in GPL, HEX, ASE, and PNG-strip formats.
