Hey there! I love Aseprite and it’s my go to choice for anything pixel art related. Except now I’m working on a game for a system that uses a 5:4 aspect ratio!

Symmetry is already a massive lifesaver, but adding a new option to reset it to selection center would be super nice!

Hi, I know this has been mentioned before, but I feel this feature should be a high priority.

It’s common practice to have the palette on a WIP image. It’s also a given that pixel art will be done at a very small scale and often with hardware restrictions in mind, making the color selector unsuitable.

I’m having trouble seeing most text at 100% scaling, but 200% scaling is far too cramped for efficient usage.
