A few tricks- One, use seperate layers or groups for the different appendages. Also, seperate your fills from your lines, I.E. copy the character shape from above, and set it to fill with no stroke, then paste in place and set this shape to strokes with no fills ( or draw new lines with no fill) this way, you can end your lines before the shoulders without losing the fill. Are you planning on animating these characters? Then the setup gets a bit more complicated. Ive been doing this for years and still learning new things! Hope this helps! ... View more

jm66557219  wrote Im not sure if this is possible or not.  What I'm wanting to do would be to have 5-6 backdrops open under one tab, drop 5-6 separate images as layers over each one of the backdrops (creating portraits), and then save all images as separate JPEG images in to a folder.  In a nutshell I'm trying to make the process of creating layered images into as efficient of a process when batch processing numerous images.  What I don't want to have happen is having 6 separate tabs open and then having to go through each one and have to layer and save individually. Seems like this is actually a good way to go about it. Im sure there are some automation options, but for only 6 images it may be just as efficient to add layer, save as, repeat... Im actually doing the same sort of thing right now (except 100s of images, not 5or 6 lol), adding new labels to product photos. The labels are a folder of layers so its, move layer group into next tab, save, move same group to next tab, save, repeat repeat repeat ... View more
