making skins?

[motoracer58]

hey guys, i downloaded the templetes from ddmx and im trying to make a skin on photoshop cs3 but i cannot figure out how to add anything to the parts or how to change colors or anything, i tried adding layers, i just cant figure it out, any help is appreciated. thanks

Well, I use GiMP and you can just paint over it when you make it a .png File. Try doing that. But when you shade you must add different layers.

Yea and when you make em PNG's try to take those shading off them, it will be tons of easier to paint them if they dont have shading.

Also if you want to publish your skins, post them to Upcoming Skins.

u only put them in png when u r finished
if u use gimp press page up and page down to change through the layers
for example:
some are called shrouds (where u do your designs) and some are called shroud shading(which u should leave alone if u dont know how to shade)
then when u r finished save as png
hope this helps
