I want to make a few skins but don't know how. Wich progam should I use?

[aviatorsneah]

Either photoshop or gimp.

gimp is free and does a lot of the same thing.

I've been using Corel's Photo-Paint for ages (part of the Graphics Suite).
It's cheaper than PS and easier than gimp, IMO. Let's say with passable results:

Take a look here for tutorials and DL a template or 2 to see how it all works.

Would highly recommend "Bright" , a program for putting your resulting skins back in 256 bit bmp fror Il2.

Paint Shop Pro can do it all. I use an old version, 7.0 and it is more than adequate for the job. And far cheaper than Photoshop ...

GIMP all the way..
Its FREE user friendly and great results BUT whatever software you get
you will be a little overwhelmed at first by all the tools,applications and layers etc. hock:
But read the tutorials at simmerspaintshop http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/ and watch tutorials on YouTube
and will get the hang of it and to be honest you wont even scratch the surface when using tools
[well I dont anyway]
Examples of my work with GIMP




Skins available from http://mission4today.com/index.php?name ... ads2&c=143
Good Luck
