Please dont hate me because i am new this site. I have to ask a really dumb question. I do all my work in GraphicsGale. But, i need to import all my work to paint since GG is a nub and ONLY saves as gal., which i cant import to PixelJoint. I usually copy and paste it too paint, and then post it too photobucket.
In other words, are there any other ways to post my Pixel Art from GG to Pixel Joint. Thanks. |

Copy/paste it into MSpaint and save it as a PNG. If you're doing animations however that's going to require a bit more doing. Mainly copy/pasting the individual frames into Paint, then putting them together with unFreeze. And now for the sole reason you told me not to hate you, I hate you.

Resized pixel art generally doesn't look good (unless it's enlarged by multiples of the original size) and we tend to not allow it in the gallery. It's better to make a cropped version that shows off a small part of the full image. |

Use the select tool (the rectangle with the dotted lines), copy/paste into new file.

| Its doing it agian >__> I copy and paste it into a new file (100x100), copy and paste it agian to paint, and its still acting like a nub. Maybe i should use GIMP? Or stick with paint for simplicity? |

Ok, we're just copy/pasting here, there's should be any problems at this point.  ------------- "pwnage comes with patience, practice and planning." ~ Jalonso
