So is this just basically a poor man's photoshop?  Just wondering because it looks like a dumbed down version of it.. What can this do that photoshop can't if it can do more stuff for spriting then it will be wonderful and ill have to get it.... Wish there was a program like the one dev guy made for his game..

I can name you two things - pixel perfect strokes and RotSprite transformation.
