Editing an image then 'Save As...' overwrites original with edits
1) Create an image and save it as "first"
2) Edit the image in some way
3) Save it as "second""First" will contain all the edits from "Second".

Image is scrambled while editing in Mojave
Application moves random parts of the image while editing. This makes the application unusable under Mojave.

PSD Import/Export
PSD Import/Export would benefit users that uses an IOS on the move but Windows at workplace. It also helps retain the layer and timeline settings if possible.

Guides
I'd love guides that could sit between pixels, and would be invisible on export. (Like photoshop or illustrator guides.) One could use them to set centerlines or easily align layers for an animation.

create sprite sheet / export sprites from single image
This idea may be similar to another already posted idea but this is what i like to see.
When creating a single image i like to be able to register a selection, give it a name and continue editing. After creating my sprites, registered them all and gave them a name i want to export all sprites from this single image to (PNG) files with the given names. for example: i created a helicopter, tree and a ball and named theses. After exporting the sprites i want these files on my disk:
helicopter.png
tree.png
ball.pngNow i can process them…

bugs in the palette widgets
While editing a sprite, the frequency palette may miscount colors used, displaying incorrect results.
When changing a palette index's color, it may appear incorrect in the frequency palette, and cause miscounts.
The only way to refresh the frequency palette is switching between it and the recent colors widget.
When switching between the recent colors widget and the frequency palette, the frequency palette may display incorrect colors (typically after changing a palette index's color)
After double clicking on a palette index within the frequency palette, it is not easy to exit the palette editing mode. (E.g cannot "deselect" the palette index…

Mirror Map/Pattern Tool
When making a large repetitive image I'm finding myself hitting copy/paste/merge-below multiple times. It would be easier if i could select part of the screen and hold down(a key or brush) to duplicate the graphic following the cursor. Almost like creating an instant pattern.

Simple gradient tool
Being able to form a gradient fill with the ability to set gradient angle and start/end point would be great.

sprite sheet centric workflow
the result of pixen work can be one of:
-single image
-single animation
-character animation spritesheeti think the least one needs a bit of rethinking.
it would be nice to pack few animations into a spritesheet of fixed dimensions (usually power of 2... 128x128 256x256...) and have the frames grouped by animation.
I like how this has been done in sprite something for iOS

basically you work on a big png and see a portion of it (the frame) then you makes animation by chosing sprites from the big sprite sheet.19 votes
