nearly every tool in photoshop thta yould need to pixel with can be set to snap with a a click or two right on the main interface.

Nope you can't. Seriously, show me how, it's impossible...

I use Photoshop, because it is what I have, and cost me $$$.  Why is Photoshop stupid?  It is because it is overkill?  I would like to know the features I am missing using photoshop.

well... let's see. no smart ramping. no dither patterns on it's own. no active color replacement. No active palette adjustment. No going up and down a palette slot with shortcut keys like [ ].  No useful paint modes like darken/lighten or tint. No exact bitdepth control (not just 16,8,indexed but 3,3,3 if you want for example). No animbrush. Is that enough?


You're searching for the ultimate pixelling program: Cosmigo ProMotion. There you go.

I can get the ball rolling, Photoshop has no elegant palette handling.  What else!  I must own the ultimate pixel-pushing software!

Animation is VERY painful in Photoshop (Imageready or CS2 built-in).

I meant buying ps just for pixeling would be stupid, I guess you do other stuff with it as well.
And what Helm said.
There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.
