Hi, I'm learning frame by frame animation and I've been searching for how to enable onion skin, I have the timeline open and the layers, I cant find the onion skin button.

Thanks!

Please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible.

If you use Timeline Animation and not Frame Animation see the »Onion Skin Settings« in the Timeline Panel’s fly-out menu (upper right corner).

Hi Jakhir,

Onion skin can be found in the Timeline Panel's flyout menu -- Create timeline animations in Adobe Photoshop

Let us know if you have further questions.

I have the same issue as danv47030643

He is right. No onion skin as of 22.4.0.

Tween is useless for onion skin purposes.

Turns out that you can change your timeline in between a "Video Timeline" and  "Frame Animation"... Onion Skin will only show up on the flyout menu for the "Video Timeline". This is really weird. Of course we want to use this while doing frame animation. Now to use it I have to go and set up the timeline and duration of each frame.

Aaaaand thats why all game animators have left photoshop for Clip Studio Paint and Aseprite.  Imagine not allowing onion skins for traditional frame animations...
