Questions about the transform tool

Hi,

I've just started using TVpaint and I'm loving it! I do have some questions about the transform tool though.

How do I transform in one axis?
And is it possible to move an image a pixel at a time using, for example, the arrow keys?

Thanks, Adam

do you mean to squeeze/stretch the content horizontaly or verticaly ? ... or simply to offset it ?
if it's to stretch on one axis, use the transform/Warp tool, hold Shift and drag the point in the middle of one edge,
if it's to offset on one axis, with the panning tool, hold Shift and clic&drag horizontaly or verticaly (or diagonaly),
I personally prefer to use the couple of mini-arrows beside the X Y values field of the transform tool,
clic the mini-arrows gadget and drag leftside or rightside to decrease/increase the choosen value,
(although the "speed" seem to be sometime a bit eratic...)
note: if you offset by entering value (nb of pixel) without decimals, you can keep AA smoothing to "None", it's lossless,
if you have decimals in your moving, choose "Best" as AA option.

you can try to install the old Nudging Custom Panel from the content sharing,
then assign each button (W N E S) to a specific key of your choice.

Yes, I meant squeeze/stretch - thanks for the help! :)
