Are these helpful replies, by the way? Some of these programs -- various PalSuite versions, JPS, TilesetPal, Gimp -- you can try for yourself, but the others cost money, and I wonder if it would be more helpful if we told you some of the advantages and disadvantages we've found, rather than you... guessing somehow? I don't really know what your plan is, so forgive me if this has nothing to do with your article or is something you've already thought of.
