What program do you all use to draw a tileset.

I used paint but the colors were not right with it.

Anyone an idea which program I could use?

I definately recommend Paint Shop Pro (http://www.jasc.com/). Many others agree with me there. Photoshop is another good choice, but it's too expensive for most.



Paint works to some extent, but you'll need to use remap palette.

Wow, Mr. Iceman anticipates our answers! :-)

Well, i'd recommend Paint Shop Pro. In my opinion the best free PC painting program (by far!). It also has some nice colour reducing routines, which is quite useful for Jazz2 tilesets.

This might be a stupid question but where is the pensil in paintshop pro?

Ive downloaded it and it looks good.

But I can only see a brush but no pensil

Click on the "Paint Brushes" symbol, then go to "View/ToolBars" and activate the "Control Palette". Then choose "Brush Tip" and click on the "Brush Options" symbol. Choose the "Pencil".



aww...confusing...whatever, hope this helps :-)

I usally setup the pallette with Paint Shop Pro, any effewcts with photoshop and then most of the art is done with the pallet and in MS paint.

The best thing is to draw them freehand, then color, etc. in PSP. ;P

I use Paint Shop Pro for everything tilesets. Don't use paint. Paint bites. Ultimate Paint is pretty good and easy, too, but I still like Paint Shop Pro the best for tileset making.
