Great found! :good:

I already like the overalls of it, will give a shot as time allows.

On the same ´style´ of paint program, you should check:

It has a version for caanoo too, which is ´strongly´ pushing me into aquiring a caanoo...
Only problem in getting one either from play-asia or ED(evil dragon) is that I may be taxed here, and it can amount to double the price...so I have to prepare my heart for that :'(

The other excellent tool on the same style is this one PIXOTELLO:

...scroll down to see a download feature.
here is a video too:

D-pixel isn't new to RetroRemakes forumites; it was written by one of the regulars and is a pretty nice program.

I want to find an art program that can morph graphics in the same way that Duluxe Paint 3 used to do it, where you just needed a begining and ending graphic and no need to setup morphing points.

If you can get hold of a copy of "The Games Factory" - the successor to Klick n Play and forerunner to GameMaker and MultiMedia Fusion, that had a morphing utility exactlylike you are wanting. I think I still have my copy somewhere... I don't know if it's compatible with Windows 7 and I can't remember if it exported images/animations, but you should be able to grab them easily enough. I'll have a looksee and let you know.

So far I have never been able to finish something with Pixothello. I always make it either crash or just messing up the whole sprite-sheet. Save often and make sure you don't have a non-american windows... :-)

Tree-d is pretty specific to an isomeric style.
