Grafx2: a modern version of Deluxe Paint

Post by Gambit37 »

Looks pretty cool for doing pixel work, and a real blast from the past!

Anyone used it?

Omg I remember Deluxe Paint - it was the "more uber" art prog we had back on the Atari - the one I found rather complicated (at the age of about six, or whatever I was back then) compared to the simpler "Neochrome", about which I can't actually remember anything but the name and hadn't even remembered that until just now when I started thing about Deluxe Paint :D.

Deluxe Paint was Amiga, right?

Originally yes, but it was ported to St and Ms DOS and possible others too. Amiga version was always the best though, naturally ;-)

I'm not a lot in pixel art (not anymore) but i've tried GraphX2 a long time ago and never used it finally. I would prefer GraphicsGale, which is pixel animation-oriented and closer to Photoshop.

Interesting, I've not heard of GraphicsGale, but that looks pretty nice too. I don't know that either of these tools are useful for the way I work anymore (doing graphics for DSB), but it's good to know this stuff is out there if I ever need it :-)
