The lite and demo version do not have the awesome auto tile completion feature Helm is using in the video tho, which is the best thing since sliced bread as far as tiles go.

How can i get the auto tile thing?

[Xion]

By buying the full version.

I downloaded it, and guess what i foun, that works. Auto tile completion. But i cannot seem to get the grid up that he did on the video. And when i try to do grass it just messes up. Do i just put it anywhere?

Read the manual of the thing, really. Make a search for "grid". Use your goddamn brain!

You really should be more patience.... take a deep breath and start searching the forums... internet etc to find all stuff you want to know

everything is out there.... when you have done your first pixelwork, return here, post it and we (them) could help you out

patience is the key to increase your skill

I am being patient, thats why i am following everything you all say.
I have searched all over the internet, on the website and on the actual program and found nothing.

[Serendor]

didn't even use the search engine 

there are different kind of techniques how to make surfaces... the first thing though is to learn basic light direction, its hard ( I haven't master it) but its vital for the outcome of your image.

first to texture you image... figure out what kind of colour you want... then, from where the light are coming....



this is a good start... practice the light to begin with.... read tutorials in the links above...

come back with a nice picture for us to comment

Grid
The grid can be used to let a brush snap to an invisible grid which you can define freely.
So a brush dot is only set on the cross points of this grid.
§ switch the grid on
§ select one of the built in brush shapes
§ select the single dot painting and try to draw something
This tool is also useful if you want to create tile based or symmetric graphics.

It's on their website. their own ****ing website. 

Anyway, if you're going to be doing tiles, i'd suggest working with 16x16 tiles instead of this freeform thing you have going on, unless it's supposed to be a sort of 'ground' image, such as in Worms or something of that effect.

Before asking around just check the manual (Help > Contents) and read everything you don't know about.
Also experimenting wouldn't hurt.
If you want to get better, just practice, and learn by studying other people's works, reading tutorials or whatever.
Don't expect people to feed you just because you have your mouth open.
