When designing an alpha pattern for a picture, do you prefer typing it out or using the ‘draw alpha’ Function?

I use the option to select “alpha from image” and then use the “draw alpha” function to tweak it

Definitely draw. You can see a lot better what you're doing if you do that and you can also fill in areas with one colour or create lines with just one click.

If I needed to remove a row somewhere in the middle of the pattern I'd of course write that but for anything else drawing is just so much faster.

you switch between colors by clicking on them and change pixels by clicking each one!

@talamer the “draw alpha” function is pretty good at that, i just use it alone or doodle on graph paper... i don’t know if any apps though

@talamer I'm using the app "dotpict" and the "alpha from picture" function usually.
