I found a Wikipedia article that compares image editing software (<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_raster_graphics_editors>) and it mentions an open-source Java program called JDraw (<http://jdraw.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=6>). JDraw is intended to be used for the sort of task I have (creating small bitmaps for Web sites edited with simple drawing tools and pixel-by-pixel manipulation). JDraw has its own quirks and limitations, but it seems to be manageable. I still have to learn how best to create the kind of image I need (a translucent texture that suggests the draggability of a UI element). But I've got something now, which is better than nothing--where if you did not know the element could be dragged, you'd be unlikely to even try to reposition it. Thanks for the suggestions.
