Enhancing Image Editor
It would be useful if the image editor will show some information about the tool one is using, for example:
1. dimensions of the rectangle you are drawing
2. length of the line you are drawing
3. dimensions of the ellipse you are drawing

Also, I'd like to see
- the mouse x,y
- dimensions of the selection
- total width and height of the image you are drawing
Yes, I do agree that these infos would help a lot in using the editor. If they could possibly confuse a young Scratcher, maybe they could be hidden behind an Extra or Advanced button.

This isn't photoshop but good ideas.

Re: Enhancing Image Editor
How about starting with an outline on the mouse cursor when you're using a brush, so that you can see where it is when painting over similar colours?
Also there seems to be a problem with the paint bucket: it'll fill through colours that are similar to the one you click on, not just the single tone.

Re: Enhancing Image Editor
Mrweston, this could be because your colours are so simaler, that in actual fact, they are no diffrent. remember, not every pixel you adjust in the paint widget will change the colour

Re: Enhancing Image Editor
Well, similar colours are just that: similar. Not the same, though. The standard convention for a paint bucket tool is to dump colour onto a contiguous patch of one colour. If it's going to have a higher threshold than that, then that should at least be user-adjustable.
But I'm truly picking nits here; there are many other things I'd consider higher on the priority list. While we're here, though...

I would like that too! I don't feel like making new sprites and backgrounds when I want this to go here and that to go there!
Sorry for never being on... I'm on Onverse now. So get inside, and Onverse yourself. Cya 'round.
