Paint is bad compared to the TGF picture editor (for me)
No right-click colour pickup!

Indeed Fenner,however paint provides you with the nice two selected colours option that the TGF paint could never offer.
Personally I prefer paint to all other drawing programs. Its simple and has everything I need to make the 2D GFX I desire.

it also has only one undo level, a fill-tool bug and an awful pencil tool

...circles come from the center, it only has 4 zoom options, and very limited features in comparison to MMF.

There are other programs, but I'm used to TGF. I hate paint and only use it for certain things. TGF's main problems are: black pasted changes to transparent, circles only start from the corner, selections only work from one corner, fill only fills up the screen you see(good or bad), one undo level, and a buggy pencil(good for noise.)

But the things in TGF, that paint doesn't have and I can't live without, are the right click pick up color tool, the 256 color palette (paint has 16), and fast flip/rotation buttons.

You'll hear photoshop mentioned, but I don't see how it relates to pixel art, which is fine if you're not a purist. I've heard two big names on pixelation: the GIMP and Graphics Gale.

I'm personally a big fan of Photoshop -- it's the only 2D graphics program I use. The really nice thing about it is all the stuff you can do with layers and ink effects. Plus, it works for everything from the very basic to the most complex. Price for it is kind of an issue, but you can pick up a student edition for only around $200 (or for free from shadier parts of the internet if you're comfortable with that).

Congratulations Filipowski, you just got yourself deleted again, you come back here, Im gonna make your life a pain. So I gave your snowboard game a bad review, get over it dude, I reviewed it at Klik-Me, not here, don't be a freakin prude. See, your rap was almost good although unoriginal, except it directly insulted me, which was way uncool. Don't bother trying to fight me man, you make yourself look lame, try growing up a little, quit this childish game.

Right, now thats out of the way, onto the reply for this post. I prefer MMFs editor, but there is another good program out there called Graphics Gale. Its basically a spritable version of Paintshop Pro, meaning that for animations you can layer them on top of each other, so positioning the pixels is somewhat easier. Try that instead.

Art like circy's is better drawn in PSP(Paint Shop Pro).

It's funny, all these "professional" programs have multi-project interfaces, so you can have 2 or 3 projects open. Too bad I NEVER use that except in PSP. In all other programs I just open the program several times to ensure I have lots of space for editting stuff.

So sad...

2 things:
1. circy is cool, don't insult an admin
2. the mmf editor is retarded... use tgf to make an object to import (or paste) into mmf... i need to better understand the way the mmf editor works...
