![]() I might work a little faster with an eye-dropper keyboard shortcut too, and it's weird that there isn't an option for it. I'm so used to using the mouse to change colors and layers and use the menus and stuff after years of using the program that I forgot that it's actually problematic if you're just trying to use the pen the whole time. Now that you mention it, changing colors with the tablet pen button is troublesome, because of the box select. I've had my old graphire3 for a million years now. Though I admit I always use the mouse to change colors. In all honesty, I really do want to find a program I like that can use layers, because it would make a lot of H stuff I'm doing in Noaika right now Waaaaay, waaaay easier.Įdit: Oh, I also never mentioned that I did a pixel art tutorial recently. I looked into it, it was beyond my abilities, and so now I'm waiting on a word from a couple different programmers who may be able to do it.Īlright, done complaining. Oh, and the reason I haven't uploaded sound versions of the flash files yet is because I'm trying to get semi-randomized sounds done like I did in Noaika, which makes things way easier. Although at this point, any color selection that isn't like GM's is going to slow me down a lot. I initially dismissed AE because it doesn't have hotkeys customization, but I see that can be changed by editing a file. ![]() Anyhow.if you have any solutions to these problems let me know. But look out! Because if you color select while swapped, you'll be caught off guard the next time you try to erase something because it will be the wrong color.Īnd the palette picker.to change your color with a proper window, you need to click on a color slot, pick the color and then.click on the color slot again! An extra click for no reason! Does it think I just change colors FOR KICKS?! Why can't you just change the colors you have selected with the same window as the palette slots? So if you want to erase and then switch to another tool, you need to switch the mode back before you do.Īlternatively, you can set the second color to the color of the background and swap between them. So to erase you have to select the background color, which is annoying because of the box select. Remember how I said my workflow consists of switching quickly between colors by using the color picker? Well I can't, because if you're moving too quick then instead of picking up a color, you'll do a mini box select!! ![]() HOLDING the right button does a box select. There are a lot of problems like this in the program.Īnd Graphics Gale? It has other problems. Since in normal use, I'm always going to be using Draw and Paint continuous at the same time, so it would make sense for me to make them both the D key. It wouldn't be so bad if you could set multiple functions to use the same Hotkey. In Pro Motion, if you wanted to use a box select tool, first you would have to go into,Īnd then to switch back you would have to go into.įour button presses. Okay, so what about say, Graphics Gale and Pro Motion? I can switch to any tool with a single button, and switch back with a single button. Even when I'm not doing anything, I'll often keep tapping the C key repeatedly out of habit. The majority of my workflow consists of switching between the color picker and the pencil quickly. Everything is simple, but everything is fast. People often cite GM as having a bad sprite editor, so it always makes me wonder how long it's been since they've used it. What's so great about this? Everything I need and use is within quick reach of my left hand, and can be accessed with a single button press. Part of it comes from my familiarity with GM's Sprite editor, but a lot of it comes down to practicality.īasically, in GM the shortkeys are like this, ![]() However, a lot of them have incredibly frustrating flaws. Lately, I've been trying various pixel art programs. Alright, I need to vent and complain for a second.
