![]() Paint.Net is basically a much better version of MS Paint, and if you just want an incremental step up, I definitely recommend that as well - it's pretty complicated, but if you learn how to use it, you should be able to transition to GIMP much easier. Just applying some filters can give you good results quickly, and once you learn how to use them in succession to do the things you want, you can do a lot of 'batch editing' stuff quickly. (Tip: learn hotkeys for switching between common tools ASAP, it feels a lot more natural and "flowing" when you don't need to move your mouse around half the screen every 5 seconds). GIMP isn't really optimal for pixelart IMO, but it's very powerful if you take time learning how it works and I definitely recommend it. So forgive me if this is something that is asked frequently. I am 110% sure topics like this already exist, I just failed at finding on and more specifically how to search for a topic like this. I tried searching for "Paint" and didn't really see any topics asking about what I was. What are some good suggestions for paint programs?Īlso, maybe I am just daft, but I was not sure what to search for to find topics like this. ![]() The core things I am looking for in a tool are being able to set transparency, building custom saveable/loadable palletes, customizeable display grid sizes(IE a grid overlay that I can set to be 1x1, 8x8, 16x16, or whatever I want), color shifting like in GM(the ability to mass change one color to another), and is simple and easy to pick up and use. I love Game Maker's built in tool for sprites but I hate how I have to access it, I would love it if there was an external version of Game Maker's sprite tool that I can access without having to load up GM and create a sprite so if there is I would love to know about it, even then though it still lacks some things I want(at least to my knowledge) There are some massive drawbacks however such as not being able to really set things such transparency. Currently I am using microsoft's built in paint tool for my work, and it does everything I need it to on a VERY basic level and without complexity.
