I started This Topic, Because I want To Know, about the programs that you use for editing, since I'm new at this, I want to discuss Our favorite Image Editing Software for Mugen.
I Made My First Edit Using Microsoft Paint 5.1,
I'm trying To Use GIMP 2.6.5, But I Still Don't Know How To use it.
I Want To Use Photoshop, But It Seems Too Hard To Understand For Me.
Which Software Would You recomend For a Newbie?

It depends on the sprites that you are making.

One Of The Things That I Don't Like about Paint, Is That I Can't UNDO As Many Times I Want.
I Want Something More Advanced.
I like photoshop because if you want to change something up you did 5 minutes ago . You can go back in the history to find it .

The One That Comes With Windows.ms paint is a bit old and primitive..
I'm Still Unsure...

Post by: Slayer on March 20, 2009, 09:00:54 PM
it's your decision on what you want to use for sprites.
I Know, But I Still Guess Wich One Is More Suitable For Mugen.

Post by: DARKTALBAIN on March 20, 2009, 09:03:46 PM
which ever one you are good at is the one suitable for you.
This is a good point . Like Mr 47 said try them all out & use what suits you best . Just not MS Paint lol

whenever you select an area, the background moves with you, it totaly prevents frakenspriting.
Gimp is free, totaly free, and susposted to be just as good as photoshop, just layed out differntly.
I use gimp its simple and easy and has lots of good tools.
My sprite editing tutoral videos show how I use gimp to edit sprites.

I use it almost 10 years, and with success.

There is ways to frankensprite with MSpaint . Someone has a tutorial up on youtube . It's just so much more complicated than with other programs . Photoshop I can have as many files open as I want & just drag the things I need . Ms paint you have to copy , then close that window , & open the new one& paste into it . Too much of a hassle for me . The program just seems so dated . I have a virtual console art program for the Wii that you can do more than MS paint lol .

You guys should try out other programs like gimp. Its so simple and yet you can do so much more with it then paint without the trouble paint gives out.
I dont know, After almost 10 years using the same program, You kinda get used to it.
I can frankensprite with it, I can do what I want with it, but why are Photoshop and Gimp better programs?
I used Photoshop CS3 some time ago (for some days) but I cant even fill something in because it then fills for example: a whole leg instead of just a "shading"
(50 minutes wasted downloading the full ......)
Post by: ANGELM on March 21, 2009, 11:15:44 AM
You'll be best of with the one you are more familiar with. Remember, the software doesn't make the spriter, his/her skills do. I've seen so many people do great sprites with both paint and photoshop.
that is why i'm staying with MSPaint.
Post by: Technology on March 21, 2009, 11:16:50 AM
Paint
> Photoshop
Why? Because it's so simple to use and it's awesome at "fast" sprite editing, it's so basic though but who cares? :-??
