After seeing lots of cool DraStic skins made by fans like me, I thought I'd try my hand at making one. I want to make a Minecraft one, specifically with the D-pad just like the arrow controls in Minecraft PE. I already took screenshots of the Minecraft controls (against a quartz-block background), and now I need a good editor program.
The Minecraft D-pad is made up of about five different sections (anyone who plays Minecraft PE knows what it looks like), and I need a background remover that allows separate sections.
I'm looking for something similar to this really good one I found, Clipping Magic (https://clippingmagic.com/), which would've done the trick if I didn't have to pay this bullsh*t account fee of $3.99/month just to download the photo. So I looked for more free options similar to that one, with no luck.
Do you guys know any (free) online editing programs similar to Clipping Magic?

why dont you get the minecraft PE apk and get the dpad from the UI files in the Assets folder by extracting the apk (rename to zip). Go to assets, images, and the file is touchgui.png or touchgui2.png I think

Try Paint dot NET on your computer and use the magic wand tool. If on android, try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... oid.eraser

Thanks but I needed it altogether in d-pad form. Also that doesn't include how it looks when pressed.

There are no "pressed" graphics. MCPE itself makes the buttons a little darker when pressed. Just use a photo editor to position the segments. Thats how the dpad comes from the GUI files.

Thanks. What photo editor would you reccommend (besides Photoshop, I have no idea how to use that)?

Paint Dot Net is the best one and easy to use http://www.getpaint.net/index.html (Its not MS Paint)

If you use Linux just search Pinta, its very similar.
