Hi Everyone!

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?

ANGELM · « **Reply #1 on:** March 20, 2009, 08:25:53 PM »

use paint like you did.

use fighter factory if u want to change the palette of the sprite.

these are the main ones that i use.

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.

Photoshop, in my opinion, is not the best for sprite editing.. unless you're trying to add glowing effects.. or trying to increase the quality of something such as a hadouken wave... For character sprites.. I recommend sticking with paint.

ANGELM · « **Reply #6 on:** March 20, 2009, 08:36:28 PM »

For a year i have been using paint and i never had a problem.

It depends on the sprites that you are making.

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 .

are you guys talking bout paint that comes with windows or paint shop bro?
anyway paint shop bro and photo shop are the most advanced while gimp is the most suitable for sprites and mugen.

ANGELM · « **Reply #11 on:** March 20, 2009, 08:53:52 PM »

i use the one for windows.

I Know, But I Still Guess Wich One Is More Suitable For Mugen.

ANGELM · « **Reply #16 on:** March 20, 2009, 09:01:53 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

they should make a poll for this.

you brung up an interesting topic up slayer.

El Chupacabras · « **Reply #19 on:** March 20, 2009, 09:10:39 PM »

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's It, If You Use Another Program Let Me Know To Add It To The Poll.

For Me I Guess I'll Try All of Them.
There's No easy Way To Know Wich One It's better 4 Each Other.

ATiC3 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 20, 2009, 09:30:56 PM »

What about Paint.NET?? I haven't used it.. just getting into it actually...

I think it was supposed to replace the original Microsoft Paint, but never did.. but it's still under watch by Microsoft company or something... idk..

Technology · « **Reply #22 on:** March 20, 2009, 09:41:37 PM »

I would go for MSPaint

Sprites: MSPaint
Palettes: Fighter Factory
Textures/FX/Effects: Photoshop

danniel · « **Reply #23 on:** March 20, 2009, 09:58:03 PM »

i use paint.net
not to complex
unlimited re do's
frankenspriting's easy
i can change the palette easy
and other things

ATiC3 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 20, 2009, 10:14:35 PM »

cool then.. I think I'm gonna stop using regular paint and go with that one again.. it kinda has a feature where you can view your most recent pics and all that.. I love switching back and forth with pictures like that without having to use photoshop!!
