Which program do you use for pixels?

I mostly use Paint.NET. I sometimes open Win7 Paint for rotating things, and I use Gamemaker and Previous's Animator for animations.

Exactly what I do!

Previous' GIF Animator is what all nerds use.

GraphicsGale is basically /the shit/ when it comes to freeware pixel editing software. Assigning shortcut keys to basically anything? Easy and relatively intuitive palette management and color control? ONION SKIN AND ANIMATION SUPPORT?! CUSTOM GRID SIZES?!?!?! The only flaws in the freeware version is the lack of saving gifs (which is easily remedied with Previous' animator ) and the roundabout way to add alpha transparency. ONE DAY I WILL SIT DOWN AND FIGURE YOU OUT

the problem is really resizing the canvas and eraser imo. They aren't as easy as they are in ms paint.

Wait. An eraser tool actually exists In Gg?

I stopped using the eraser after I got used to a combination of lasso + paint bucket for my eraser needs. Much quicker since there's less precision involved

I've been a Vista Paint and Microsoft GIF Animator man for years (I even went so far as putting Vista Paint on my Win7 laptop). It's somewhat old-fashioned and plain, but for what I need to do, it's entirely useful and functional for me.

I like Graphics Gale, but I usually end up using Paint.net. I like all of GG's features, but getting everything set up can be a chore.

i use paint xp for everything except transparencies and rotations that aren't multiples of 90 degrees; when i need to do those things, i whip out gimp.

^ Pretty much this except i have the vista paint on my comp, which is better cause you have about 10 uses of ctrl+z and the base color palette.

And for the things that can't be done in paint, i use graphicsgale rather than gimp.
Actually what bugs me about almost all (not-mspaint) image editors is that you can't just change your image's size as you go

You can do it in GraphicsGale (All Frames->Enlarge Canvas and All Frames->Crop), but yeah, it'd be a thousand times better if you could just do it by grabbing the corners of the image like in paint

I think GIMP can do what you guys are talking about, can't it? Image -> Scale Image, and in addition to typing in the dimensions you can also drag it around if you want.
