Sprite presets

Square, square-pixel canvases at the common sprite sizes: 8×8, 16×16, 32×32, and 64×64.

Systems marked—are full-RGB machines with no single fixed palette; they keep your current palette. Non-square pixel aspects reproduce how the artwork appeared on a 4:3 display, and can be changed later with Canvas > Pixel Aspect Ratio.
