Are there any tools that can be used to make skins other than Photoshop and similar? I would like to try skinning but I can't buy any image software. Perhaps there's a freeware-type image editor that can do the job half-decently?

Also you could try http://www.splashup.com/ or use the GIMP there is a tut on renhelp to use it, but i recommend getting an older version of the gimp cuz it looks more like photoshop Razz but try the new one as well. also it's light weight.

Oh, wait, I thought he didn't have the .dds plugin. It gives errors like that when you don't, but I guess he does after reading the error message again.


yeah

Does it need anything extra to edit dds files and such like? Or any special instructions I should know about?

Or do I just roll with it, see what comes out Huh
