swerve Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 hi. im using paint shop pro 7 , i have managed to do some skins now. when i finished a skin i merge all the layers and flatten and then say as tga file which i then change to tex file for putting into game. the question now is. if i notice problem with car once i see it in game. i go back to psp7 and open the tga file. but where the layers are now merged. when i open the pallete pulldown, i cant change any colours of body panels as the panels are not shown in list. all it says is background. is there a way to ummerge the layers so i can sort my problem back on the templete. hope this makes sense. regards swerve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazza290 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 One thing you might be able to do is select the area where the 'labels' are showing, and use a smudge tool on a low opacity and bland the colour over the top of the label. That may take some time but I think its possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Jacobs Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) Just save the template before you merge everything down. Save it as psp file (i think it does that automaticly when you save it). If you see problems in game, go back to paintshop and open the saved template. Then you can change what's wrong, save it again unflattened and then merge it down. That's how i do it.
