General Discussion / Re: Pyxel Edit pixel art editor

Oh, I see. Well, how about this: What if, when you right click on an empty pixel, it auto selects the eraser for you, and when you right click on an opaque pixel, it auto selects the pen tool and that color?
Also, I did have a little trouble pasting in my activation for the updated version, so the bug or whatever quirk it is, still exists.That's odd. Which OS are you on?
I did what I described above though, and it lit up the activation text, so not too troublesome.
I don't mean to be annoying, but I've been working on some terrain tiles today, and I've got another suggestion for Pyxel Edit, if you don't mind hearing it.You are not the first to suggest such a feature. I'm not sure how practical it would be though. I could imagine maybe selecting multiple tiles in the tileset somehow and draw in all of them simultaneously.
Often, I'll decide to alter a single pixel or two on a specific tile, and though all tiles with that index are updated, other tiles, which are almost identical, but have been altered for different situations i.e. edge tile, edge tile with bottom, edge tile with top detail, etc,.. These tiles I need to remember to update later, while observing the latest revision side by side with it.
Is there a way to turn on and off a secondary shared index? And if not, might you consider adding such a thing?
Example: *Index On* Basic tile created, *Index Off* situational detail added, *Index On* minor pixel adjustment made (pixel is added to the same coordinates in all, all though tiles aren't copies).. and turned on and off again later as needed..
Got it working.Glad it worked out for you.
Out of curiosity, how do the default shortcuts compare to whatever shortcuts are used in other programs? I hope I didn't teach myself a bad set of muscle memory with my own set of custom shortcuts on graphicsgale.
I'm not sure how standardized the shortcut keys are, probably not that much. I have tried to follow Photoshop as often as possible though.
You don't need to do any blending. Just pick the pixel value of the transparent pixel, so you can paint with it like any other pixel value. Solid or fully transparent. Or am I missing something? I don't think the colour picker is really usable in its current state.The idea is currently that the picker only picks the color, and not the opacity. The thing is that I plan to add an opacity slider to the pen tool, which would require alpha blending. If the pixel values would just be set to the opacity value it would be pretty counter-intuitive (drawing with low alpha would erase previous pixels), although it could work like that in a second mode.
