I'll throw eight bucks your way next paycheck, it really is a fine program. I wish you great success with it!
I make actual NES games. Thus, I'm the unofficial forum dealer of too much information about the NES

Just bought it!  ;D

Edit: This is amazing! It's awesome to animate in, much better than photoshop. The only thing I miss is a keybind to switch back and forth between frames.

Thanks for the kind words!  :)

Seiseki, you can switch between frames with "," and ".", or Ctrl + Mousewheel.

Nice!
Another thing which I haven't figured out how to use is the colorswapper.

You mean the replace color function? You select the color you want to replace as the foreground color, then choose Color > Replace color, and you then get to choose a new color and see a live preview of how it will look.

Oh, I was clicking like mad, trying to find out how it worked..
I don't really get what the tool itself does, if you still have to use the menu and click replace color? It just selects a color like the colorpicker.

Would be nice if you selected a color and then another color, not replacing the palette, but instead replacing the color in the image with another selected color from the palette.

Aha, you mean the tool! I thought you meant the "replace color" option in the menus. :)
With the tool you draw to replace the current BG color with the FG color. It's like the pen but only draws on pixels that are of the BG color.

Ohh..
I was going to ask if you had plans for such tool..
I thought right-clicking selected what color to paint on. There's already alt for selecting a color, so it might make more sense that way.

When the selection tool gets finished, there's no reason for me to use photoshop for pixel art anymore and that's awesome!
(regarding the selection tool, I think you should have a smaller selection border, preferably animated blinking so it stands out)

Nice to see it's got docking panels now.

The slow animated zoom is really horrible.  :ouch: I want to zoom in on an area by ticking the mouse wheel up 3 times and be immediately zoomed in 8x. I want to be able to instantly zoom in and out to any desired zoom level. I don't want to be furiously spinning the mouse wheel for a minute.

The palette editing workflow needs a lot of work. I can't find any way to merge colours, or to manually reorder colours. Opening up the colour selector and changing the colour doesn't change the palette entry, awkwardly need a special duplicate colour selector from the menu. The current tool colour swatches are right over the opposite side of the screen from the palette so a lot of travel for colour work.

Is there no repeating tile view/editing for working on seamless tiles? This seems to me to be the single most natural feature for a tile-oriented editor.
