well since PSP caused me to have spent a whole day creating a single tile (see the beta's) I decided I'd rather use the pixelperfect ease of Paint. it's just.. PSP doesn't even have all of paint's features and others of them (like the fill tool) work worse when pixelperfecting

Example:
A=black pixel
B=nearly black pixel
C=white pixel

making black pixels white with the fill tool:
Code:
first     after
       paint   psp
BBBBB  BBBBB  CCCCC
BAAAB  BCCCB  CCCCC
BBABB  BBCBB  CCCCC
BAAAB  BCCCB  CCCCC
BBBBB  BBBBB  CCCCC
some way that tool trashed the tileset


also, PSP eats that much memory that when I have PSP opened with 3 huge images (read: tilesets) and have JCS, WLM and a number of small background tools open at the same time, Jazz runs out of memory! So, I had to close psp to test my tileset and then, about a minute later, had to open it again.. which takes awfully long...

my conclusion:

I used PSP since I don't have any other program that can load palettes into images.
