I couple of important buttons I think you guys should have: BLEND and NO BLEND, and REPLACE.

(No) Blend is a simple toggle which dictates whatto do with an alpha color.   When on, your color blends into the background.  (RGBA(128,128,128,128) might fade to a light pink while on a deep red background, for example.). When off, the area selected becomes that value, instead.

Replace simply lets you choose a color in the image, and then replace it with another.  You could select black, for instance, and with a single click turn it all red.

In combination, the two provide the extremelt useful functionality of letting one choose a 255 alpha black, and transform it into a 255 alpha clear, before saving.

Update: now drawing different sized tiles or sprites from 3X3 pixels to 64X64 pixels (still finding little clunkers so won't post code yet).

Here is Celtic Knot testing at 15X, I attached the 15X Cletic knot file so you can check out it's pixel size :)
