If you're serious about 'getting it right' then pixel-by-pixel is the only way to go...

Well considering I've changed a group of 3x3 pixels almost 20 times in the past two days, I'd have to say yes. Sometimes it's quite worrying when you get yourself into a 'loop' where no matter what you do that pixel just looks wrong.

Can you imagine how tough it would be if you couldnt zoom in on an image to work on it?

Did you ever use undo to unfix that pixel because you didnt like what you had done then left it the way it was?

i try to leave one bad pixel area or code in every skin that i'm fond of. i seem to get bored with them when there's nothing left to fix or complain about. then make a mental note, way, way, way down on the list to "fix it someday".

IRB : I've done that a couple of times!
BKB: Mine always have to be as close to perfect as I can get them.

Erm. I remember that I've redone about 25 bitmaps of MotherOfPlastic because the red value of the greyish blue was 1 off. Does that count?
