The video you linked shows how to do it in Photoshop, this is an extension for Aseprite (a different software) ✌️

You download the Aseprite extension file and open it with Aseprite. If you have the installed version of Aseprite it should automatically open files with the “.aseprite-extension” file extension. If you’re using a portable version of Aseprite you might need to open Aseprite first and then drag-and-drop the extension file onto the Aseprite window. ✌️

I’m not sure what you mean by “datas”, do you mean the extension file?

Okay, this looks like a bug - I’ll look into it and get back to you 🤔 Perhaps the extension is not fully compatible with newer versions of Aseprite. Do other options (Brush Size, Brush Angle) work for you?

It took me a moment to figure out what the issue is here. Most likely because the theme has variants it adds a button for each in the preferences window, making it wider.

Here’s a link to a version that doesn’t list all of the variants, the only downside is that you need to pick them blind from the themes list because they’re all named “Aseprite 95”. ✌️

You can just draw with the regular Pencil Tool. To see effects of the extension you’ll need to change the Brush Properties in the window to something else than “Static”. ✌️

I think you’re justified as even I didn’t remember that the “Clear” button was already there. 😅 Glad your issue solved!

I somehow completely missed your comment? Thank you for pointing that out, I actually just updated the metadata of the asset to include this information ✌️

According to the GUI definition of Aseprite, by default the Delete button calls the Clear command. Therefor, you should get a functioning “Delete” button on the On-Screen Controls if you add one that calls it. The code would look like this:

    :button{
        text="Delete",
        onclick=function()
            app.command.Clear()
        end
    }

If you encounter any issues, or need some assistance feel free to let me know ✌️

Sure thing 👍

You will need a regular version of Aseprite (not LibreSprite, not the trial version - these two don’t support extensions as far as I know).

You then download the extension file and open it with Aseprite, you should then be prompted to confirm if you want to install the extensions.

After that it should install the extension without any additional steps, and you should find the new options/features available immediately (sometimes you need to restart Aseprite for everything to work correctly but that’s rare). ✌️

Oh, I see it now - thank you for pointing that out! 🤔 I’ll fix this in the next update.

Well, I think it could work 🤔 I’m not sure about changing colors but scaling and rotation would be possible.

It only suppports standard brushes by design, however it was requested quite a few times so I might consider adding it finally.

Thanks a lot for reporting this issue! Turns out placing pixels outside of the existing cel/image caused this issue, I’m publishing a v2.0.2 update with a hotfix for this ✌️

You might want to switch your Aseprite version on Steam to the beta branch.

What version of Aseprite are you using? It seems like your version is older than v1.3-rc4, which would make it incompatible 🤔

Thanks ✌️

Sure, you can reach me via Discord, my @ there is “thkaspar” as well ✌️

These transformations only work for custom/image brushes. These can be created by selecting a part of an image and selecting Edit > New Brush (or pressing Ctrl+B).

I should probably extendd the funcionality of this extension to work for regular brushes as well, that would be more intuitive 🤔

Yes, it will - as long as the Aseprite window is open, but it only tracks time for the active tab.

There’s a command in the API that allows you to do that:

app.command.Flip {target = "mask", orientation = "horizontal"}

I can send you a modified built with it unless you want to add a button with it yourself ✌️

And thank you for support! I’m glad these extensions are helpful ✌️

This issue prompted me to workout a full update for this extension, please try the v2.0.0. It has improved search result sorting.

Thank you, that means a lot ✌️

Oh, thanks - fixed it!

I’ve tested with the same version of Aseprite, OS and the extension and wasn’t able to reproduce the issue. You might want to try the v4.0.0 update and see if this one helps.

Could you please post a screenshot showcasing how it looks like? Cels should be clearly separated on the timeline.

I’ll need to check the build again, what OS are you using?

You can try the unofficial v3.0.2 build of the extension. It should help, especially if you’re running Aseprite on macOS.

I have a suspicion that a macOS specific API behaviour (or even a bug perhaps) could be interfering here. Could you try this updated build to v3.0.2 and let me know if this version fixes the issue for you?

I see what the issue is now - the trial version doesn’t support scripts, therefore it does not support extensions. If you’re still just checking Aseprite out, and you’d like a more complete experience there are Windows binaries compiled from the open-source code, for e.g. here.

Give it a try, it should support scripts and extensions. In the future, if you’re able to I’d really recommend buying the compiled version of Aseprite, it’s convenient and supports the developer ✌️

Although, to be honest, even after investigating this issue I’m not sure what could be causing it - I think there’s a chance the newest update to this extension can fix it ✌️

It’s very odd, what OS are you using? I just re-tested it on Windows 11 (Aseprite v1.3.8.1 + extension v3.0.1) and couldn’t reproduce the issue.

Sorry for the late reply, are you still experiencing this issue? What version of Aseprite are you using? What OS are you running Aseprite on? How exactly does this issue manifest - is there an error message?

Here’s a short demo showing how to open the time stats for a sprite after installing the extensions:

There’s not much more to it really, this extension just keeps the time (and the number of changes) spent on a given image. I’d say if you’re new to pixel art you don’t necessarily need it, just have fun and learn the basis of Asperite ✌️

I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue on Aseprite version 1.3.7 on Windows 11. What OS are you using? What other issues are you experiencing besides the extension being installed under the wrong category? Are the new functions not appearing the menus?

I’d recommend:

• Install the extension and restart Aseprite, see if the extension is under the correct category after that and check if the new functions are working correctly.
• Update Aseprite to version 1.3.8.1 (newest stable at the moment).

Thanks for letting me know. Could you tell me what version of Aseprite and the extension are you using?

From my understanding, the link doesn’t need to be functional to fulfil the licenses requirements. ✌️

The newest Aseprite version (v1.3.8) changed how Magic Wand works and the implementation that I used for selecting image mask stopped working. I just pushed an update to v3.0.1 for this extension that should fix it ✌️

I suspect that the way the extension modified image pixels might not play well with the MacOS version. You can try the released update (v2.1.0), it might solve your problem. ✌️
