Editing a sprite in SpriteStudio© is very simple and straightforward. To change a pixel from black to white, or from white to black, just click on the corresponding square. Although with that alone you can create sprites, there are some special features to speed up creating sprites. They are:

Fill White

This sets all the squares (pixels) of the sprite to white, effectively clearing the whole sprite.

Fill Black

This does the exact opposite of Fill White. It sets all the squares (pixels) of the sprite to black.

Add Border

This creates a border by setting all of the edge pixels to black.

Inverse

This changes every single pixel. It changes all the white ones to black, and vice versa. (VERY USEFUL!)

There are various options when saving sprites. The option Generate Binary just shows the sprite data in the text box. It is meant only for viewing purposes.
The other two options are:

Copy Binary

This copies the sprite data (including the necessary code) to the clipboard, so you can just paste it into your code.

Save As...

This prompts you for a file name to save as, and saves the sprite data in that file. The various formats supported for saving files are .Z80, .Asm, .Txt, or other extension.
