At the bottom of the right panel, you will see the estimated size of your sprite sheet and the amount of memory it will use. You can place your mouse over each image and a popup will display the name of the image, or list the aliases, along with the original size, the trimmed size and the rotation setting. You can tell which images are aliases by the small stack icon in the upper left corner of the images. To save memory and CPU, TexturePacker automatically makes a note of the duplicate images and only adds one from each set of duplicate images to the sprite sheet. These images are called aliases in TexturePacker. This is because 4 of the images from the animation are duplicates but in reverse order. However, we only see 7 of the 10 images displayed.

Now that we have exported our Photoshop R animation as a PNG sequence, we are ready to import the PNGs into TexturePacker to create a sprite sheet and property list.
