Wait, Faktablad, you're like infamous for using ms-paint colors in my book, and you're on a mac? 

My personal computer is a Mac, but my family owns a PC.

This is soda from Pixel Joint, soda was taken, so I'm Pan here.

I agree with fak.  Pixen randomly just crashes, at literally, random times. Undoing things makes it lagg like mad on my computer. Also, it cant handle opening images over 256x256 without blurring the crap out of them. 

I mean really.  Is it to much to ask for a pixel editor to not jpeg stuff that you import?

Nah man, that's not even ranting.  There should be a built in equivilant to ms paint for macs....it's bush-league.
I was going to attempt to cope with Pixen, but the second I saw it couldn't even remember the colors I chose, I became a skeptic--if a program can't store 3 values--red, green, and blue--with out messing them up, that is really sad.
It didn't take long for me to start a search for an alternative when every color got fucked up after changing one color to another--damage I couldn't undo!
It's got a built-in feedback, so I typed up a big bug report and commenced to send, and I'm greeted by a nice error message.
-it sometimes can't undo things
-crashes always.....always
-closes windows when opening other ones....especially the palette window

haha this cracks me up, cuz one of those mac vs pc ads, the pc says "yeah well i ship with paint", and the mac guy is just not impressed....

[So-lou]

Wow you guys are all still alive and going hard with the pixel art hey 

[ndchristie]

whatever happened to all macs coming with Claris Works ?

[Rydin]

I think they re-did it all and put it into a nice neat packaged called 'iWork '08' that's available for the low, low price of too-much-for-me.
