Final Fantasy Hacktics

Thanks a lot good sir. I already have ShiShi's I was just unaware that it could export BMP files.  So it can paint bucket everything at once? How does it know what colors to use and what is supposed to be darker and lighter? Also I guess I can only use 16 colors including black for any sprite that I make on my own. Again thanks for helping me out.

I've watched in a couple times now. In the first part he selects all of the arms well a section of them. After he finishes selecting all of them (using lasso?) I'm pretty sure he just pushed G for bucket fill. It just seemed like it did everything by itself. Like change the palette of the arms with one click or something. Am I understanding this right? If so that would be really useful and save so much time. Also I noticed that photoshop can edit .spr files? Sorry for the bother.

I've been looking all over this site trying to gather information and programs on what I should be doing. The more and more I mess around with things the more confused I get. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing anymore. I just wanted to make some custom sprites but now I'm just depressed with the whole situation. I don't know where to start anymore. I've been looking at different tutorials and videos and just plain messing around but I don't feel like I've learned anything at all. I'm so frustrated about this but I don't want to give up. This really means a lot to me. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of key information or something... What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the opportunity to grow. I feel pretty confused mainly by the photoshop tools. I'm not finished with the video yet so I'm going to get back to it. Just wanted to say thanks.
