simonsunnyboy Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Not exactly like Degas Elite but a very very decent pixel pusher program is grafx2: http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/ And it's free and multiplatform *EDIT* PLUS it loads and saves .PI1 and .PC1 files directly - perfectly to do pixels for the ST on your modern machine!

ggn Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 That looks more like DPaint ST You could give Pro Motion a try (commercial, demo available), since a lot of pixel artists like that a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STE'86 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 damn. i was relying on the st community to have ported it to be honest :/ Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pea Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 damn. i was relying on the st community to have ported it to be honest :/ Steve I don't get on well with promotion or that dpaint clone ssb said about, I'd love a DegasElite+ for the PC - that would be the best thing ever.

techie_alison Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Paint Shop Pro 4. It's so reassuringly old (and stable), and it runs on anything from Win95 up. Only a 4MB install. Also saves in the various Amiga/Atari formants, .IFF etc. Certainly enough formats to get it onto an ST in some form or another. I still use it with XP. Although the install is a bit back to front, to get it to work with a Restricted (non Administrator) Profile. You need to promote the user to an Admin, ...do the install with that user, ..and then demote them back to a plain user. I run Linux here 99% of the time, and when I do use XP it's NEVER as an Administrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shredder11 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I run Linux here 99% of the time, and when I do use XP it's NEVER as an Administrator. Bad experiences with XP Aly? Also I use Ubuntu from time to time but I admit I need to learn more about the fundamentals, Terminal commands, overall system structure etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laemeur Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I'll also plug GrafX2, although I use the older version available from Eclipse's site: http://www.eclipse-game.com/?dat=7 My comp doesn't seem to get along with the video mode switching in the newer, GoogleCode-hosted releases, plus a couple other nitpicks.

DearHorse Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) damn. i was relying on the st community to have ported it to be honest :/ Steve Hi, try this (Degas ELITE XL - Win98 to WIN7 tools for ATARI ST/E) : http://ataritools.fr.gd (main page) after that, you go to ST-DEXL part in the menu and go on ... documentation UK/US in pdf format is at the same location (I expect it's not too worst english ).

+sgrddy Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I was curious about this. When you make a picture with Degas or Neochrome, can you use all 512 colors in the same picture with an ST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DearHorse Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I was curious about this. When you make a picture with Degas or Neochrome, can you use all 512 colors in the same picture with an ST? Hi, 1/ a question about the possibility to display all the 512 colors of the ST ? in this case answer is yes with raster interrupt spectrum 512 can generate 48 colors each scan line so a screen can easily displays 512 colors. But no with degas elite or neochrome. or 2/ about this little soft ? so answer is no. by now DEXL generate only PI1 compatible 320X200X16COLORS on screen (=ST/E standard format with no tricks). no more at this time or perhaps by a bug.

Kroah Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi, try this (Degas ELITE XL - Win98 to WIN7 tools for ATARI ST/E) : Can you please update the download link on your site, it seems broken. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Hi, Sorry for the response delay but I'm very busy with new home. Well, I just put a 1.4 version of DEXL inline at ataritools.fr.gd, lots features (still working) are desactivated by now because the soft change to support all ATARI ST/E - resolutions and 2 of the TT030 and must be tested. This add is an intermediate release , far than definitive tool. Best wishes Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
