Ah, you mean saving with alpha transparency.
Of course Paint lacks a lot of features :P Still remains though that it's well enough suited for pixel art, just requires more effort.

Yes, paint is fine for pixel art, but when you get into desktop publishing ...

I have to design graphics at my school for the yearbook with Paint.

I've resorted to bringing my laptop with Photoshop CS3 to school every day.

Hey, who needs keyboards, monitors or even operating systems? I always draw my stuff using punch cards. I never understood people who use these fancy algorithms to draw gradients. A computer isn't supposed to do tedious tasks for you; they're too unreliable. This is why I always print the new versions of Graal on paper and plot the functions myself. I must admit though, I do use a modified abacus to send network packages.

Well that's a horrible way to try to explain it :P
In the end, it's not about functionality to most people but experience and accessibility.
I use MSPaint because Photoshop isn't meant for pixel work... is that much of a surprise? And because I've been using it for so many years, I find it comes much more naturally than using other programs like GIMP that I've tried. I just stick to what I know how to use best. This wasn't a matter of what was better, just the fact that it can do that stuff, you just have to go about it a different and more difficult way.

The GIMP have a few interface modifications you could try. One of them attempts to duplicate Photoshop.

I agree on not using photoshop for pixel art, but I generally dont use paint for it...

I just hate it when every damn post that is made that is not done perfectly is debated on. I wish that you guys would really stop being badasses. He used paint. His photoshop doesn't work. he was bored. I understand dusty when Blaze said RoflZZzzzzzZZZZ I think it's completely useless and should be deleted. but stop it and I want to have a read without so much debating, just comments and maybe a tip or two. Also you guys are getting off topic...

No, Millennium is just rude in general. Zone can be pretty fun, actually. If anyone harasses you excessively just forum pm Dan, jkool666 or myself (preferably jkool666 since Dan's busy and I sort of quit xD) and we'll look into it.
