Skins, how?

Bulkhead · 03-11-09, 06:14 AM

What program you use to make skins to the subs?
Any recomendations?

adobe photoshop CS3 because it's all about cutting (magic wand tool) and layers and masks.

freeware: www.gimp.org
with the .dds plugin http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/dds/

How do you find Gimp...
I find it a pain to load... It's worse than PS, and a 1000x times worse than Windoze Picture viewer..
As an example.. while doing my wheel I would have a 17MB bmp file, and would like to have a quick peek at it. Gimp would literally get stuck on it, never opening, whereas windoze would view the pic in less than 0.5 seconds.

If they want to do open source to beat Bill, they'd better shape up .. big time.

Try Paint.net. Another excellent free image editor.
I occasionally use Gimp too, I've got no problems with loading images using Gimp whatsoever. Gimp's got a good load of functionality, you can do pretty much anything you can do with payware image editors like photoshop. But I find Gimp's GUI extremely hard to work with, whereas Paint.net is very user-friendly.

Gimp works without problems here too. I occasionally use Paint.net for the simpler stuff, but Gimp is the real workhorse. Arguably Paint.net has a much simpler gui, but there's just so many things you can't do with it that you can easily do with Gimp. I'm not overly eager to spend a couple of hundred €s on Photoshop

Never had a problem with GIMP, apart from when they changed their window manager to some horrible nasty buggy one that kept putting the wrong window on top.
