Conclusion

Well, that's all the time I've got for part 2 of this article. I really thought I was going to be able to cover all of this in one article (haha) but it's looking now like I'll have to continue this in a third (and final!) article. In part 3 I will cover a few more of the tools such as the Paint Bucket, & the Line Tool, Using the Hue/Saturation and Levels controls, some more advanced (and easy) ways of creating pixel graphics from photos and other existing imagery, Working with Pixel Type, Indexing Color Palettes and Saving files as Gifs. That's a lot still… a third article will be out in one or two weeks. I really must spend time wrapping up may part for Dino Run, the next Pixeljam game that is getting close to completion.

If you have questions that need answering on anything covered so far, I may do a Q&A type of article with the most frequently asked questions later on. You can email rich@pixeljam.com. I may or may not get to that Q&A article. Or I may email you a response directly if I have time.
