What is Grafx2?
GrafX2 is a bitmap paint program inspired by the Amiga programs Deluxe Paint and Brilliance. Specialized in 256-color drawing, it includes a very large number of tools and effects that make it particularly suitable for pixel art, game graphics, and generally any detailed graphics painted with a mouse. The program is mostly developed on Linux and Windows, but is also portable on many other platforms.

Is anyone here capable of sharing some rough explanation of the differences between these. They're the ones currently available for download on the webpage and I'm pretty clueless. I should mention I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080ti GPU). Ì prefer portable apps, but other than that, which one do I want?:

Retro Deluxe Paint inspired (GFX) graphics maker / editor (Amiga 500 retro graphics,even the legendary Commodore64)...it does look wierd for modern standards, but it is OK, At least from my point of view.
@hced If you don't know what version to download, why did you give 5 stars? You should give 1 star.
I'm a software programmer, but it drives me crazy when developers do clueless, incompetent things like label their installers and descriptions with inscrutible code and jargon. My position is that nobody should support a project or programmer who does that, because it's clueless and offensive.
I also find pretty consistently, that programmers who do that, can't write software that anyone wants to use.
I strongly suggest that nobody download Grafx2 and that they down vote it as a warning to others.
Beautiful retro interface and a number of really neat tools and effects for pixel art. I recommend it for making character sprites and the like.
It crashes occasionally though.
Really cool, authentic pixel animator. Unfortunately it's very slow on my Mac book. It has plenty of resources for this kind of application, I think it's just more ideal for an older system, or it's just made that way. I was surprised it even ran, as it said Power PC architecture on the website (old Mac processor). I can't use it with such delay unfortunately.
