I have a mac and i want to make a texture pack. I was just wondering which program would be the best for making it. I already tried Gimp, Pixen, and Paintbrush and none of them work for it. Gimp doesn't do precise pixel editing, Paintbrush can't handle invisibility, and Pixen lightens the whole picture whenever u open it. So the colors are all faded more and more when u open it.

Try Paint.NET, I used it before I got Photoshop

You can do precise editing in gimp, you just turn the brush size all the way down.

that doesnt work. it changes the shades of the pixels around the one you're editing. believe me i've tried.

Try GraphicsGale. Its made FOR Pixel Art.

Pencil tool doesn't...

Just use the pencil tool on GIMP? It works fine.

Paint.NET is a good program for pixel-arting. I recommend it.
