I've been using MSPaint to do my splicing and recently started trying my hand at using Photoshop.
I really like MSPaint for color replacement via the eraser tool, and photoshop has a color replacement option that I've been playing with, but I'm noticing it isn't exact. Using the paint bucket in either program can be precise but time consuming.
Photoshop's layers can be handy for easy movement of parts.
I'm also noticing a lot of times that the transparent selection doesn't always work in MSPaint even with white as the selected background.
So what I'm wondering is are there any other programs, processes, or tips for splicing that you guys can recommend?

I think that in paint the reason the transparent doesn't always work has to do with saving the file and opening it later. If you do a splice all in one sitting, it should work fine. Does for me. And if I have to take a break and close it, when I open it up I click "select all", open a clean paint, and paste it all. Then you I don't have the transparent problems. When I finish, I just replace the old file where it only has some progress with the finished product, if that all makes sense

I've never used anything other than MS Paint, just because I'm stubborn and this is what I learned on. I've heard of people using GIMP though, I think? And I know Bram uses Paintbrush for Mac.

Paint works perfectly for me. Easy to manipulate pixel-by-pixel, and you get to choose the RGB content of colors precisely.
