Title: Good Graphics Tool?
Post by: Psyborg on August 20, 2013, 04:27:03 PM

So I am using a version of Paintshop Pro that is, I'm not exaggerating, at least a decade old.

It can only assign transparency to .PNGs if they are 256 color, for some reason. I've run into really weird color glitches and transparency problems when loading/saving graphics files for Hammerwatch.

Can anyone recommend a decent (free) graphics/paint tool?

I guess there´s Gimp ?
though from my personal experience that isn´t exactly easy to get into...

i use Photoshop, but obviously that's out of some peoples price range, i Highly recommend Graphics gale, it has some trouble with transparency that takes some working out but aside from that is very impressive especially for this kind of pixel art.  i like the fact the pencil can right click to grab colours, no hunting for that eyedropper tool.
