Your favorite Deluxe Paint alternative ? (Pixel Paint Program)

Hello!

I'am searching for a good pixel paint program, but the problem is most of them are dead!

I found:


PRO MOTION:

I wrote the programmer an email, i want to know if the program is dead or not!?
EDIT: program is NOT dead - receive email from the creator.

Did you know other good programs ?


I think the pixel paint programs can have a resurection because of tools like RPG Maker VX Ace and of course the indie scene.

Please help to find more programs and support them - thanks!

I've used Asprite and Graphics Gale and both are quite useful. GIMP is another one that is free, but quite hearty despite a clunky interface.

I bought PYXEL EDIT a few seconds ago,
the look and feel is good in this program,
its still beta but in developement by one person. Price for the Beta is small $9.

I use Gimp, http://www.gimp.org/ ,for most of my graphic-editing needs. It is a bit of a clunky intereface and takes a while to become familiar with, but now that I'm used to it I can usually get good results.

Pyxel Edit looks like it would be good for editing / making Pixel stuff.

I use Serif DrawPlus. Amazing program.
Can transform Bitmap files to vector files if needed and then editing them all a part pieces!
(you can also use such as Inkscape).

I create all my works into vectors, and then export them to transparent PNG.
(so as it, when newer updates/software can support .svg (vector native files) I just need export them to .svg :))

I have Photoshop, but I still go back to Gimp for some of my pixel art. I tried Graphics Gale but really did not like it. Just choose the program you like and stick with it.

I found another program looks good too (YT videos),
but its only from 2008...

PaintTool SAI

Good news:

PRO MOTION is not dead! :)

Mr. Zimmermann answer to my email. He has plans for a new layersystem and to create stereoscopic graphics for 3ds (experimental).

BTW:

What did you think about using icon editors like

ICON FX:
http://icofx.ro/index.html

Could this work for game graphics too?

[._.Stashed Girl._.]

Why you don't use the Paint?
Edit..
PAINT.NET

I am using Pyxel Edit (it's listed above) but really liking it.

There is also pickle editor: http://www.pickleeditor.com/
Ive only tried the demo, in my opinion it has some nice features but it's a bit limited.
