Sprites are little images that can be used in your website or in a video game. You can draw characters with movement, intros, textures, patterns, backgrounds, logos, color palettes, isometric levels, etc. </p> <p> What makes ASEPRITE different? It focuses on pixel editing, to do pixel-art. Indeed, it isn't a photo retouching tool or a vector graphics editor. Mainly it is a tool to create tiny animations pixel-by-pixel. </p> <a name="features"></a><h1>FEATURES</h1> <p> The biggest features of ASEPRITE are: </p> <p> <ul> <li> Sprites are composed by <b>layers and frames</b>. These two concept are separated. You have layers in one side and frames on the other side. You can imagine this as a matrix, where each row is a layer and each column is a frame. </li> <li> Supported color modes: <b>RGBA</b>, Grayscale and <b>Indexed images</b> (palettes up to 256 colors). </li> <li> Supported image formats (load/save): <b>PNG</b>, <b>GIF</b>, JPG, FLC, FLI, BMP, PCX, TGA, and ASE (special format). </li> <li> Load and save animations in a <b>sequence of bitmaps</b> (e.g. frame1.png, frame2.png, etc.). </li> <li> Tiled drawing mode, useful to draw patterns and textures. </li> <li> <b>Undo/Redo</b> for every operation. </li> <li> Special tools like Blur, Jumble, Convolution Matrices. </li> <li> <b>Multiple editors</b> support. You can split an editor horizontally or vertically multiple times to edit and view the same sprite with different zooms, or different sprites. </li> <li> <b>Onion skinning</b>. </li> </ul> </p> <a name="configuration_files"></a><h1>CONFIGURATION FILES</h1> <p> In Windows 98/2K/XP/Vista the main configuration file is <em>aseprite.ini</em> which is saved in the same folder of <em>aseprite.exe</em> executable file (in this way ASEPRITE is a portable application, i.e. you can transport a copy of the program in your USB drive). </p> <p> The following is a list of all configuration files that you could modify (it is not recommended to do so, but is useful if you want to <em>super</em>-customize ASEPRITE): <p> <p> <pre>aseprite.ini Program configuration data/gui.xml Menus, shortcuts, and tools data/convmatr.def Convolutions matrices data/skins/*.* ASEPRITE skins data/widgets/*.xml XML files with dialogs</pre> </p> <p> In GNU/Linux, the configuration file is ~/.asepriterc, and the data/ files are searched in these locations (in priority order): </p> <p> <pre>$HOME/.aseprite/ ../share/aseprite/ ./data/</pre> </p> <a name="contact_information"></a><h1>CONTACT INFORMATION</h1> <p>We recommend you to use the SourceForge tracker to do specific reporting of issues:</p> <p> <ul> <li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/aseprite/issues/entry">Bugs</a></li> <li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/aseprite/issues/entry?template=New%20feature">Request features</a></li> <li><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/aseprite-discuss">ASEPRITE Group</a> (<a href="mailto:aseprite-discuss+subscribe@googlegroups.com">subscribe</a>)</li> </ul> </p> <p> For more information, visit the official page of the project: </p> <p> <a href="http://www.aseprite.org/">http://www.aseprite.org/</a> </p> <a name="license"></a><h1>LICENSE</h1> <p> This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. </p> <p> This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
