this may sound like a dumb question, but what makes GIMP good? More specifically, is it a more usable and convenient program to animate sprites with? Because I'm using paint for drawing up frames and Photoscape for making gifs.

Also, is there a program that is like tops for animating sprites?

Hi Ghast,

I don't know what everyone else's experience is, but I find GIMP to be an unwieldy pain for spriting. I use Graphics Gale for pixel work and animation. It has layers! (omg) Recoloring tools! A window/bar just for your animation frames! etc. The only problem is that you cannot save as an animated gif with the free version, but it seems you were handling that part elsewhere anyways.

Hope this helps!

IIRC Yeti uses a combination of Paint, GraphicsGale, and Fireworks last I talked with him about stuff like this?

I just use Photoshop for everything. It's got an export script that makes exporting the frames super easy if you know what you're doing.
