Title: Makeing a new reskin for P6
Post by: Third Mate on April 04, 2010, 01:51:38: I have looked around the forum but no luck, so can anyone tell me what program do you use to make a new reskin for P6 and roughly how to make it.I know there is a .dds file, so I just need a program to open it with and start it up.

Post by: mvsmith on April 04, 2010, 17:13:38: Searching by using the Search bar on the right is not a good way to search.
One should click â€œSearchâ€ on the top ribbon and learn to use the control it provides for searches.

ok not quite, i got the photo shop but it does not take .dds files, only psd as an example.So it would mean that i have to find a file converter to converd the .dds file to pst then from psd to .dds again.

Technicality arises even more
