The bottleneck in our current workflow is stuck at separating layers in Photoshop. From there it's generally plain sailing (we just use Illustrator's move tool to shift the right bits around). You don't happen to know if it it supports specific image replacement do you? i.e. importing a new version of the same sprite? I did have a look, but it's not obvious without setting up a test workflow. We tend to update animation frames quite a lot - which is pretty straight forward done manually. G. Hi Mike – thanks for the pointer.

To solve your problem, try to turn off png compression in your project settings in Xcode. Project Info -> Build -> Packaging -> Compress PNG files It's only a guess. So just try and tell us about the results. Hi, Nick.

This tip on building a sprite sheet is great, but I do have one question. Whenever I create images in photoshop 320 x 480 (my game is landscape) at 164.83 ppi, parts of the background graphic are fuzzy (especially areas with gradients). I have looked everywhere for an answer to this and I couldn't find one. I thought that since you were working on your game you might have an idea why this is happening. If you have any ideas or want me to email you a picture just let me know. Thanks Mike,
