I'm not actually sure! I haven't wanted to test it because of Eclipse's formatting :/
For now, until dA decides to do something, I'm gunna be sitting back on normal dA format!
Honestly if they were to screw the format so much as to make it unusable for pixel artists, they'd be losing a rather large community... If they don't keep the option to switch between the formats to benefit artists, then they might be losing more people than when they did switching to Core. I hope they don't mess pixels up either ;;
