Ah, I see. I think I will definitely have to try and work smaller. I think it saves time too. And when you are working for online stuff, it doesn't matter a great deal anyway. I am pretty sure I just make it hard for myself doing everything so big ^^'

If you're curious: For me, I think the max limit on SAI is about 2500x2500, I'm not sure if it's the same limit for everyone else. (Discovered the limit when I was trying to open a 3000x3000 canvas onto SAI lol)

Edit: Found out through Pyon's way that my max is 5040x5040... what? <.<;; Okay, maybe I remembered wrong and tried to put in a 6000x6000. ^^;;

it's different for everyone because my maximum is 4080x4080. you can change it though at Other > Options

It depends on your computers system memory i think

Oooooo, I see. My max is 5808x5808. Well, that is plenty big enough for me anyway, even if I keep doing things big. Thank you for your help everyone~

When drawing something, anything, USE REFERENCES!! Use your Google-fu!
Don't trust your memory, and don't blindly trust what others teach you either.
Research, observation, analysis, experimentation and practice are the key! (:

My max is ... let's not talk about that T_T

I only have 512MB of RAM and 64 shared VRAM. 2000x2000 is enough to make RAM consumption more than 512MB. This is the only real reason why I'm not using SAI and still stick to the old trusty Flash MX.

Oh! It actually does. You just click on 32bpp ARBG (Each pixel have Opacity) when you save the file as a .png.
My interest is caught. How do you do this exactly? :?: When I do 'save as' I don't really see this option?

Oho! Thank you, that clears things up quite a bit and will make sprite drawing not so painful *_*
