Thanks for the info but I think Gimp Paint Studio and GimpShop are better than Gimphoto.

Vector graphics: Picroma will lose its freeware pricing as soon as it is no longer in beta, which should be soon. All accounts will become demo (limited functionality, fourteen days) after that.
There has to be something better than Inkscape that’s free.

Pixia isn’t for pixel art. It was originaly made for manga and it’s more like Photoshop then pixel art-tool.
