Hi! Things are ok-ish I guess. What about you?

You guessed right. I use Photoshop (but I'm pretty Gimp would work just as well; I just can't get used to its UI). My skill set is very limited so I mostly crop, resize and sharpen, use the magic wand and the lasso tool and occasionally the eraser and the pencil to remove background stuff or clean the pic. Adding a drop shadow (via layer style options) is also a neat trick as it blurs imperfections. The most important thing is having a good enough and big enough pic to work with in the first place and that's dependent on your device and the game itself. For example, the game won't let me zoom in on anything in the shop, the silo or the barn and there's some big quality loss when I zoom in on things like animals so these are a source of endless frustration. :)

Aww, thank you so much. I love doing it so it's my pleasure. And it's really nice to work with you.
