SpritePixels vs Aurora Live

Designed for multi-touch! No more pecking one pixel at a time – fluidly paint pixel art using several touches at once. Tap a tile to zoom in and work with precision. The companion mini-view shows what it looks like at normal size. Drag any tile to instantly copy it to another tile. Great for making similar versions of a sprite. Press and hold with one touch to fill an area. Press and hold with two touches to lift and copy a rectangular region. Customize a palette of up to an incredible 16 colors! Expand your canvas to a staggering 512 by 512 pixels! Press and hold any color in the palette to adjust it to any of a mind-blowing 4,096 possible values! Experiment with color sets by pressing and holding the palette to replace an entire row of colors. Save your work in iCloud and resume it from another device. Export your art as a pixel-perfect PNG image.

Create flowing color studies with Aurora Live's interactive canvas, palettes and capture tools. NEW IN 4.0 Save a keyframe timeline on this device, export it as JSON, and import a validated timeline with a replacement preview. Scrub the playhead to sample intensity, motion and warmth; Apply Frame sends those settings to the canvas. Save fuller Moments with warmth, palette cycling and Wander settings. Export a portable Moment settings backup through Files, then restore it with confirmation. New data-preservation checks protect unreadable saved libraries. CREATE AND CAPTURE Choose built-in palettes or create five-stop palettes, including colors extracted from a selected photo. Explore scenes and Composition Lab recipes, adjust the live canvas, save Moments, capture images and create coordinated Frame Kits. Optional Sound mode reacts to microphone levels. Ambient display, guided breathing animation and the sleep timer remain available. WHAT TO KNOW Aurora creates generative art. It is not an aurora forecast, scientific instrument or health measurement. Recipe suggestions describe settings rather than rating image quality. Guide-cycle totals count animation cycles, not measured breathing. The keyframe editor stores parameter studies; Apply Frame applies one sampled frame rather than playing or recording the timeline. Matching endpoint settings do not guarantee a seamless video loop. Moment settings backups contain names, palette colors and look settings, not thumbnails, captured images, video or animation time. Restore replaces the saved Moment list. Files are limited to 1 MB and 30 Moments. Timeline files are limited to 1 MB and 32 keyframes. Export a copy before replacing a study or library. Made for iPhone and iPad.
