About Mike's Sprite Editor
As the name implies, Mike's Sprite Editor is primarily aimed at creating sprites instead of complex photorealistic images.
Sprites are small, simple graphics, and they are typically restricted to a small color palette. Most of the time, they are used for things like toolbar buttons, cursors, and simple icons, though they are also used in simpler video games.
Most users don't need to work with sprites or limited palettes, so graphic editing software has generally moved towards making more detailed images. Those of us who still need this sort of tool are more or less left behind, as it's getting harder and harder for us to find editors that we can use. Hence, I coded my own editor to make things easier for myself, and I decided to release it to the world in case someone else has similar issues.
