I use MS PhotoEditor for screenshots, GIMP for everything else.

I don't think you've seen this thread, but it has been seen before.

Coding is worth learning, photoshop....nyah. |
Photoshop is not about being an artist. It's about having the tools to do what you intend to do. Say you have an image, and you want to put something on top of it. You open the image on Paint, draw something on it. Ooops, it needs to be 10 pixels to the left. Start over, or major edit work. In Photoshop, slide the top layer 10 pixels. Done.
I have zero art skill, but I can use all the awesome features in Photoshop to create "techie" stuff as I need it. Even ignoring the layers aspects (which are huge), there are dozens of can't-live-without features like selection (arbitrary, not just rectangle/ellipse) and edits of selection area, grids, rulers, brushes, airbrushes, gradients, blurs, on and on, even a measure tool that's sure to confuse the hell out of Akai.

You can run Cont in any color depth your monitor supports. However if your make a zone with 24-bit graphics, players that run 8-bit color might see crap, and of course downloading any graphics will take 3x longer.
I believe SSME barfs if it tries to load an LVL file that is not 8-bit (or less than 256 colors) because LJC didn't use the OS functions to load the tileset; he loaded it manually expecting all the fields to be in "standard" places, which is really dumb. |

i always make my final images usually in index mode (256) colors but do color palettes and tables really matter in photoshop for continuum? |

If Cont is run in 8-bit color it uses only the VIE palette. If you save your images as arbitrary 8-bit (eg best fit) they will likely look terrible when mapped to the VIE palette at load time.
A color palette and a color table are the same thing. |

He doesn't think a pixel is a measure of length.

Hey now, don't call LJC names.
He made that editor back in 96'/97'.
No one had an idea this is how the game ends up. |

Why would you save them to bmp when you can save them to png?
