Update on Resolution!!

Resolutions gave me alot of trouble and used alot of time within last a few days.
this is an update. 3 major changes:
if all the frames are on 2s, i prefer to scan them as holding only 1 and use 12 fps rate. by this way, it ll be quicker in colouring. But if the animation is mixed with 1s, 2s and 3s frame rate, i ll not recommend;
by exporting psd file from Illustrator, we ll save the process in PS before painting;
instead of saving jpg files with blue screen, we ll use psd files with alpha channel for compositing.

Also to note:
When exporting psd file from Illustrator, make sure to select "Flat Image". this will give less unwanted layers.

I m still concerning about the image size, coz the image sizes seem variously done by different people. also the coloured psds are quite big. So to find out!
