Light table options?

Does anybody know if the light table has a setting that lets you see transparent colours of the previous frames, and how to enable this if so? I'd pretty much like to only see the black outlines of my drawings in the light table, but silly me decided to colour in each frame before the animation was finished, and now I can only see silhouetted frames. So something like that would be useful if anyone knows how.

Oh nevermind. I worked it out... Just selected 'none' instead of colour or gradient in the dropdown.
Well now I feel silly.

Nope, doesn't work. That's why it's best to keep outline and colour separated as long as possible.

I had that problem myself, two solutions:
- trace the line roughly on a new layer (useful if I only want to add one or two frames)
- duplicate the coloured layer and use the scan cleaner. Doesn't give a perfectly clean result, but good enough for animation.
