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 |

Quoting MirageI've never had any problems like you're describing.
Must be multi-thread related... Do you have any crash logs?
Haven't touched it since its last crash, but I could take another look, invoke a few new crashes and send you the logs... |

I never managed to save a koala pic in Timanthes, not a single time. It just crashes.
I got help from Mirage 4-6 times, and its something with the format or size of the pic i want to save.
Well, DOH - if i want to make koala, then let me do koala and save with no probs! :D
So i gave up. P1 seems to work. |

No offence, Jan, but the first time you tried saving a picture as koala in timanthes the resolution was 331x189 or something. The last time you tried to save an IFLI picture as a standard (fligraph) FLI picture.
Both won't work, because of obvious reasons.
I guess my point is: I can put failsaves in for those (and will) but it hasn't been a high priority thing...
Any program can be made to crash if you do seemingly normal things:
(And no, i have nothing against P1, it is perfect for what it's supposed to do) |

I've run Timanthes on my desktop PC and through my Macbook Pro and it's extremely rare that it crashes (I'm talking 3-4 times ever during normal use). Both are Dual Core, so perhaps it is a bit more stable on newer CPUs?
Saving C64 files has sometimes been a little awkward, but usually after trying a couple of layer setups I've got it right. |

What we need Mirage, is you choose a mode, and the programs locks all to this mode, so you cant do anything wrong. |

That's what P1 does, Jan... If you need more than that you can choose to use timanthes |

On my computer Timanthes is perfectly stable, whereas P1 often crashes during saves, causing me to perform an annoying print screen->paste in Photoshop->import in P1-operation. So it goes both ways. In response to the threads topic my personal preference is P1. But I would never argue with anyone saying that they prefer Timanthes. Both programs are good! |

Sorry for this but:
HAHA, I will never ever again accept criticism on using GIMP.
All the tool all the people use all the time keep on crashing on all occasions? wtf?
Isnt proper safety the no.1 gain over native c64 solutions? |
