What does kabuse mean? What is a correction layer?


In japanese, 'kabuse' (vaguely pronounced 'kah-boo-seh')means 'cover.' A kabuse layer (sometimes marked on top with 'kabuse' in Japanese), is one that often repeats the image and trace lines of the layer below it, only makes corrections. This can be done to cover up mispaintings (wrong color), changes in detail (maybe the director decided he wanted something slightly different), or poor quality (maybe the trace lines were a bit spotty and needed to be doubled). This can also be referred to as a correction layer.
