How do I pick pixels?

[Speedster]

I've played games like The Night of the Hermit (I think it's called that) and am in awe of the way the characters have been used. I've tried pixel picking with screen shots, but I almost fell asleep. Is there an easier way to accomplish this?

If this is the only way then I'll design my own characters, but do I have to have my game set to 320x200 to stop my images being scaled up or down in size?

You want to rip characters from LucasArts games, is that it? Go get Costume Ripper at http://scumm.mixnmojo.com/costrip15.zip it should do the trick for you.

And the scaling is just about how you set it. When importing sprites, if you don't check the "Import for 640x400 resolution" checkbox, you character's will be double size to their pixel size in a hi-res game. If you check the box, the characters will be their real size, related to the background.
