Does anyone know where to get a free paint program.

Does anyone know where to get a free paint program, or sprite editor that can save the picture as a .pcx file? if so can you please tell me.

And I can't use Adobe Photoshop, because I don't have the right one.

And MS Paint doesn't make .pcx files.

GraphicsGale is a good free pixel-art package with support for many of the features you'd expect out of such a program. It cannot save to .pcx directly, but you can probably convert it using IrfanView.

Are Graphicsgale and IrfanView free?

 

[Blitzzo]

IrfanView is free, and GraphicsGale is free for the basic version (only real limits have to do with file output, which you can use IrfanView to circumvent anyway).

I suggested GraphicsGale because it's specifically targeted at pixel-art, which is what he's looking to do. When you're making graphics for games like SRB2, you need an editor that is capable of doing images on a 256-color palette, and don't need fancy Photoshop extras such as lens refractions and bevels that would only distort your style.

Paint.net? I only had to use it a few times so I don't really know much about it. Might be worth checking out though.

Paint.net is used mostly for editing images, I don't think that it would be a good spriting tool....

Yes, Paint.NET is nice, but the program I always use, (and it's been REALLY helpful) is Paintbuster.

www.softbusters.com

It USED to be free, but some idiot started selling it, and made a little over $10,000, so now it's shareware. It's free for 30 days, and its $40 bucks.

I think it's worth it. Do you?

That is a prime example of what could have happened to srb2 if it wasn't a Sonic game and had a completely original theme. That's just sad, Segmint.

On the other hand, it looks like a pretty decent program. I've been wanting to get off Paint Shop Pro because it's trouble-some to pirate it now >.>

Ultimate Paint; Free, easy-to-use, can save images as pcx files and more.

I didn't understand what you meant.

Isn't that what a true mod is supposed to be? That's what I'm doing...
