Save it as a PNG. Don't worry about safing it if its a test skin

If i save it as a .png can I put it in the game? Because i don't really want to put so much effort into a skin and not know what to do with it.

Okay,so in Gimp you go to save as then where it says whatever(skinname).psd and change it to crf250-skinname(Honda) kx250f-skinname(Kawi) yz250f-skinname(Yammi) rmz250-skinname(Suzuki).png
Make sure at then end is .png instead of .psd.Then put the png in your personal folder. :mrgreen:

You don't want the wireframe to show up. If you really want to, you can just delete the wireframe layer right before you save it as a .png
