You got PSP Because all those steps are required to draw the bricks. Paint Shop pro is the best drawing program imaginable, and there is _NO_ way I can make a tileset with Photoshop, it's almost impossible. You never know what the location of the picture you're drawing on is, you never know how big your selection is etc. etc.
These are very important features, and when making a tileste you must STRICTLY stay to the 32 pixels per tile thing, and if you dont know your 32 times tables you're gonna have a big problem knowing if you're actually drawing on the right place. Look, there's nothign Wrong with Paint Shop Pro. Only problem is that the textures the program gives you arent that good, so you have to make your own instead of using those 
Photoshop to em is less significant than that freeware texture generater i got...
