Pixeling stuff the Old School way
Evening,
got my 1351 mouse adapter today.
Did not do any pixeling since the old Amiga days, which is 1997 or so in my case. Where has the time gone?!
On the C64, I mostly used OCP Art Studio, I liked the HiRes and mouse support. But I guess that is a bit outdated today. So what do artists use nowadays? Doing this on the real deal and CRT TV, 1351 mouse. The Old Skool.
And oh! I find Amica Paint a bit weird! Perhaps need some time to get into it. |

We try to make it the most modern and streamlined pixel editor there is.
Seamless pixeling into side borders with a hassle free UI.
When will you release a C64 version, as that is what this thread is about? ;) <3 |

Last year, when I got back into it, and again at the beginning of this year, I used Ditheridoo from Abyss Connection.
But I'll probably switch to Albert, because you can save your workstages, which many people demand.
Albert also provide some more functions.
[edit]
sorry, didn't saw that you want to use real C64 tools.

Downloaded Face Painter and Funkpaint. Will check them later.
I know ALBERT, but not Ditheridoo. Will have a look.
Thanks, folks! |

Quoting Shine...
"Pixcen" is the reason why i am still active! :)
PixCen - once you got a little used to it - offers quite a lot for normal pixelling tasks, still my weapons of choice. Nice exporting choices for coders.
Though someone talked me into cracking
Koala Painter [koalapad] (just for the fun/sake of doing it and for the very few people owning Koala Pad/replica), I fully agree on that for _most_! halfways sane people pixeling on real hardware (including CRT hopefully) is a pain in the ass... |

TheRyk,
it *is* a pain in the ass, but fumbling with Art Studio and a *g*e*n*u*i*n*e* ball mouse shows that two colors on a CRT TV are enough, it indeed shows *every* color!
And that's why I'm doing it: The color flow that most people don't know, or forgot about, even of us elders.
And again: Yes, it's terrible to work like that! But it's the real deal. :p |

Any chance to extend it to upper and lower border, or even into corners? I understand there will be some compromises (stretched sprites etc, but it would be quite awesome to have totally fullscreen pics ;-). |

A bit off topic. But upper/lower border is coming in the next version of ALBERT. Version 3.0. We are working on it now and it's in the final stages of development.
My two latest images was made while developing and testing workflow of this new mode.
So just wait maybe 2 weeks more(fingers crossed) and you will be able to do it. :) |
