Description:
• This is a program for creating Pixel Art (Pixel Art), a kind of Photoshop in the environment of editors for Pixel Art and is head and shoulders above all other editors in this area in terms of functionality.
• The average entry threshold, it will not be difficult for a beginner to figure it out thanks to the Russian translation and hints in almost all menus!
• The program is designed primarily for pixel art, animation and creating level maps from tiles (Tiles) and the palette is limited to 256 colors per image, although you can work in conjunction with Photoshop if you are so used to it.
• What is Pro Motion?
Pro Motion is a graphics and animation software. You can use it to create game graphics optimized for PDAs, consoles and PCs, animated GIFs, icons, comics, logos, stills or clip art, and for your web pages.
• This is especially useful for creating game graphics and level maps for games, or for creating low-volume bitmaps for your media.
• A wide range of powerful features and tools will help you create high quality animation.
• Professional artists will find useful tools such as the use of layers to create smooth animations (leaf skinning) or to work with layered graphics.
You can easily transfer your ideas into a sketch. Pro Motion was designed to be similar to the legendary Deluxe Paint that became very popular on Amiga computer systems. Thus, this is the best solution for all people who are moving from Amiga to PC.
• Support for many types of files will help you work in conjunction with other graphics programs.

1. Run the file: Pro Motion NG 7.2.7
2. For the full version of the program, place the ‘ pmotion.exe ‘ file from the ‘ ENG ‘ folder into the folder with the installed program
( by default: C:\Program Files (x86)\cosmigo\Pro Motion NG ) agree to the replacement ( to move to this folder you must have administrator rights. )

Below is the recommended way – that is, you will have 2 versions of the program, in English and Russian, this is for convenience, since a number of lessons on the program will be in English, respectively, and the program menu too.
1. If you want to Russify the program – place the file ‘ pmotion ru ‘ in the folder with the installed program ( by default: C:\Program Files (x86)\cosmigo\Pro Motion NG ) to move to this folder you must have Administrator rights.
2. Next, move the cursor over the ‘ pmotion ru ‘ file you moved and press the right mouse button from the list, select ” Create Shortcut “, move the created shortcut to where it is convenient for you ( for example, to the Desktop ), this shortcut will launch the Russian version of the program.
