Reached the full size of my Canvas

Maybe this is more of a word of warning (for past me) than a question.

But, it appears I have reached then end (Width of my canvas).

I started doing my animation and as time went on, I realised it needed more detail, not only in the amount of pixels but the overall amount of frames.

So here I am, with a Canvas size of 7560 - 42 tiles wide. The upsetting thing is, I'm only about 8 tiles from reaching what I think would be the end.

Had I realised this earlier and had not been to total newbie fool, I would have made the tiles a few high...

As I type this, I'm re-organising the info onto the new tiles.

I'll remember this for the future.. I hope you do too :)

ENDING NOTE - Amazing program, I showed it a fellow Dev the other day, for less than 30 seconds. He instantly went to your site and ordered his version.

Thank you :)

Success - the 'Tile Placer' Tool is now my best friend.

TIP : Keep original width and increase the height.

Use placer tool to copy each tile (including layer if you have them) and past them in the respective places below.

Resize the width of the Canvas to match...Hey Presto - All is not lost!

I'm glad you solved it. :)
Yeah, it's a good idea to use multiple rows for long/big animations.
