Photoshop CS2/Animation workflow?
Has anyone discovered a workflow using Photoshop CS2 and Moho? I really haven't spent a lot of time experimenting with this, hence the question. I have just started using Moho and find it facinating it seems to have a great deal of depth and a wonderful workspace setup.

I have been trying photoshops animation feature but it's very limited. What you can do is change visibility and such over time and make drawings over time, which I'll use it for if I can get it to work satisfactory with semi transparent brushes.
I don't think animating something in CS2 for Moho import would work that well since you have to export it at a series of still images, besides Moho is so much better at animation. I think you should continue working as you have done it, process images i photoshop and export them as png´s, then import and animate those in Moho.

I use Photoshop and a digitising tablet to make ny backgrounds. Moholooks after the animation. This gives a very "high quality" feel to the final animation. Vectored backgrounds always makes the animation look "cheap".
And before this becomes a flame war, try outputting a still with the same animation, but one image with a vector BG and one with a photoshoped BG. Its one of the key reasons Jananese animation looks good - the animation is often very limited but the backgrounds are exquisite. Have a look at Ghost in the Shell.
The secret for good photoshop backgrounds is to make a layout on paper first then scan that into Photoshpt and paint over it. Use the wet brush in high transparency and the results are very good.
