Without a doubt the best 2d software available is Adobe PhotoShop. If all youve used is paint, though, and youre asking on here, that means you havent heard of it or even bothered searching for it. Google is a good place to start. BTW you need deep pockets if you want PhotoShop, meantime start searching for free packages.

I'm a Paint Shop Pro fan, but it's really a personal preference. The Gimp has already been mentioned. Another good freebie is Pixia.

For myself, I use two different programs in combination; Paint Shop Pro and Fractal Design Painter. Paint Shop is great for manipulaing the image in color, size, contrast and gamma, and for joining images together into a form that can be loaded easily. Fractal however carries the lighting, surface and tonal controls I feel are necessary, to give the sprite that full body depth we've all come to expect of game images. I don't know if Adobe Photoshop can make these same adjustments, but if so I'd be a wonderful tool..

Any truly great code should be indisguishable from magic.

Well I have been using Macromedia Fireworks pretty much my entire developing life, and it's awsome. (I own version 3 and MX)

Trying to get my sig up!
