Hi all

Was just wondering what you all use to create and edit Buttons and UI Dialogs? I know alot of you will probably say Photoshop. But i do not have Photoshop. I have been using the photopea website.

Here's what's happening: I create an image, it looks good. I export that image in photopea to either a PNG or BMP file. Still looks good. But when I add the image into the specific .Lib file and save it. It still looks pretty good in there, but in game, it looks like it has had alot of detail and maybe even some pixels removed. And just dull. Is this because I have "remove black on import" selected? In the editor. Or is this because I need to export it a specific way? Like 8bit, 16bit, 32bit, ARGB, or SRGB etc...?

Any advice would be appreciated. As good of a coder I can be at times, I lack alot in the GFX department hehe 😅

Many thanks in advance

Edit: I use Crystal
