Best program to draw C64 graphics with on a PC and on a MAC?
One of the very best artists from days gone by wants to dabble with C64 pixels again, so I'm asking on his behalf.
Cheers, Morph |

Probably because he wants simply paint - not fight with unknow GUI, specfic file load/save, very limit gfx tools (no layers) and many more. ;) |

Can't speak in the name of all C64 graphicians around, but I for myself really love the vintage, limited ambience of working purely on a C64.
For me, PC software is useful only when no real C64 is around or have to get done something really quick. And even then, I tend to enjoy minimalistic interfaces like P1.
The conclusion is: don't think that an easier option is always a better option :) |

There is an advantage for the pc tools - you cannot take the 64 with you to work and pixel some things during a boring meeting... :D

Grafx2 is excellent if you want a DPaint clone. Recent betas have support for loading and saving koalas. |

Used Gfx2 in the DOS-era and liked it a lot. Can't download shit at the moment to test it. How it is dealing with Koala limitations in painting mode? |

for multicolor purists 0xpaint is also a neat tool. very simple usage, has vice and codenet support.
otherwise i second celtic, though i would not recommend p1 for tablet users (without a mousewheel zooming is pain). |
