Attention sprite makers...

I'm just wonder what programs are in popular use with the sprite makers of the Dominions community.

Or, if you've used various programs, which would you recomend and why.

I like the GIMP. It's a free and nice open source program, available for all platforms.

Sombre uses Paintshop Pro. The rest uses GIMP afaik.

If you don't know either, use GIMP, it's free. I can't switch because I'm used to PSP and when I try using anything else it's way too frustrating.

I use ImageForge. It's also free, and I've had problems with GIMP. ImageForge is a bit like Paint, only a lot more and a lot better.

Once upon a time, I used plain old paint.

Now I use Gimp. It's nothing special, but it's more than sufficient to get the job done. I also have no problems with it.

If I had money to burn (or some need outside of sprites) for it, I might use PSP or some other high quality program.
