reg126 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I personally think the micrografx/igrafx picture publisher/windows draw range of programmes are best suited to skin painting.Version 6 or later would be needed..and the limited edition versions that came bundled with some scanners ans software contain all that is needed. Main hassle is that you would really would need to find a second hand copy (unless you had one already). Microsofts Powerpoint prog (part of office 2000) is a good source for graphics and fonts that can be added to the skins in micrografx prog in addition to its inhouse stuff. The with "extras versions" of office 2000 may contain microsofts Photodraw which while not being an ideal programme for skinpainting it can still be used to produce reasonable skins. There are a few other image editing progs that also can be used to produce skins but they are not as suitable .These can often be found bundled in scanner and printer software packages. Biggest strongpoint of the picture publisher/windows draw range is ease of use which is a weakpoint of both paintshop and photoshop.Another thing in its favour was that it was designed to be as compatible as possible with microsofts office 2000 range of progs. For instance, wavy graphic fonts created in powerpoint using wordart can be simply copied and pasted onto skins merging when in place. Paintshop and photoshop may be the main programmes used for skinpainting but there are alternatives if you look around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
