A couple things that Timaster left out for paint. Polygon tool: Hold shift down when using to make perfect circles and squares. Line tool: Holding shift allows you to make straight lines and diagonal ones. There is also a grid feature under View, Zoom. |

Whoa... I never looked in the View menu. That's pretty cool... the thumbnail and the grid. The other two I just forgot, though. Thanks for pointing them out! |

never ever ever ever ever ever you Adobe Photo Shop thats my only advise. I do all mine from scratch and I just keep screwing around with the outline until it looks nice then I just shade the inside. I have never used a refrance once. |

Everything's wrong with Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro. I mean, come on, all those features? Saving into tons of file types with lots of compression options? Detailed effects? Everything you can do in Paint and more? Bah, who needs it... >_>; I think what he meant was if you do use Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro for making sprites, you shouldn't heavily rely on all the pretty effects to make your sprites look decent, because that's not really spriting. I personally limit myself to Paint when making sprites for the simpler GUI, since Paint has all that's really needed for sprites, but one could easily do the exact same thing in Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop. |

Photoshop is easier to use and makes it easier for the user to navigate through the picture when you use the zoom than Paint when you learn all the keyboard shortcuts. You can zoom 1600% and you have access to a grid that you can change the size on. It makes it easier to make a map or anything else big out of small aprites. If you are a Macintosh-user, then you can use RepTILE to do the same thing, but Photoshop is easier to use. |
