May want to bump your resolution up as far as you can stand it,gives you more room to work(1360x1080 here,hehe)
So it is saved now as a new name?Reopen it and do the normalise image filenames I mentioned above,apply and see how its working.

After you normalise,hit the browse button on the toolbar,it will open that skins folder and you can see all the file names have been changed.
Here is a neat plugin so you can see thumbnails of .tga's http://greggman.com/pages/thumbplug_tga.htm
typing the new name for the image files is wierd,it dosnt like spaces,and you kinda have to get clever with the typing...you will see...
My new name for this skin Neutroniumgrey.Wouldnt allow for a space,probably for the best.

THATS GREAT oops
That plugin helps a lot when browsing for a .tga image.Skinstudio will take .png's that you make and auto convert them to .tga's and viceversa when you click edit in skinstudio(thats also why you set photoshop as the default editor,so images open directly in PS)
As you edit .tga files you will see in the skin folder you have 2 of some images...1 .tga and 1 .png...Skinstudio only uses the .png and I think when you finally finish,it only zips the files it needs...if not,when you get thru,just select all .png's and delelete,then zip for distibution(we have a ways to go for that yet
You can see the difference between a .tga thumbnail and a .png.

When my 30 days is up and if I decide not to purchase photoshop can I use the others that I have? What filters and things are a must have when making skins?

the avatar?Yeah he's a real lady killer...Mutant of Metaluna from This Island Earth.
Sometime before you publish the WB,you gotta make sure any info relating to me is changed to your stuff.(the exception being the toolbar icons,they may be used by anyone...feel free to make your own if you want,theres only about 100.
)

Ok, so now how/where in the world do I start?

Gaaaah!I've got post lag.
other editors can open PS files but they will never do it perfectly.
I'm using PS7,upgrading is out of the question for now.
Some people swear by Paintshop pro,its probably the closest to PS and cheaper.
If you dl'd the start menu file you will see its not filters...its all layers and styles.

You open photoshop and design your start menu.
You can see how I do them,a single image that gets cut into 5 sections(more on that later)
This gives your graphics an integrated look instead of parts stacked all together.
So...got any ideas for a theme?A well designed Start menu will give you all the image ideas you need for the rest of the skin.(and make it look professional and consistent as a whole)
OH,what did you name your new skin?
