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

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
