I'm also a PSP7 fan. Works for me. I designed all my variant maps with it.
Unfortunately PSP7 doesn't work on my new Windows7 computer, so right
now I'm firing up my old one for PSP graphics work. A real bugger.
I think PSP7 does a very good job at combining vectors, pixel-images and
layering. Ideal for my purposes. I've tried various other programs, but
haven't so far lucked out in finding something better. Kinda a bummer
since I need something Windows7-compatible. Any ideas?

PSP7? Wow that's so... new. Smile I use PSP5. I have PSP6, but I'm just faster at doing things in the old standby.


I use Paint Shop Pro 7 (current is 11, but I didn't like versions after 7) for it's layering feature. Using layers allows you to edit the map much more easily later - and you will. I also still resort back to MS Paint because something are just easier there.

Diplomacy games may contain lying, stabbing, or deliberately deceiving communications that may not be suitable for and may pose a hazard to young children, gullible adults, and small farm animals.
