quick skinning question

Hey guys, sorry cuz i'm sure this has ben posted a ton before... but im trying to do a skin on the demon hunter, so I want to select his chest first... (btw i have PSP V.7) with the "freehand" tool... next I proceed to carefully outline his whole chest, but when I finished it selected a quite large area, and when I tried to move it... I wouldnt see it, so i copied it and pasted it into another thing I had up, but it was so faded and transparent I could hardly see it.... any help plz?

Well, first off, you shouldnt use the freehand tool. But besides that, Im thinking that the chest's opacity is really low. Try and turn up da opacity. Also (Since I have little experience with PSP, I use Photoshop) try messing with the layers. But I dont see why you would need to select the chest itself...Usually you color the whole image with basic colors and then use dodge and burn to darken/lighten things up.

thanks, you were right, as for selecting the chest... (I don't know a TON about skinning, but from what i DO know) that would basically be a recolor, in this, it allows you to give the unit a basic skin color and then basically re-do the whole thing... (or atleast I hope thats what I'm going for) who knows? I may be completely wrong and the skin culd turn out like a bad drawing?

Another question.... I downloaded Image Extractor II from this site, but when I open it, I was looking for the new units, but couldn't find them anywhere, I had the first Image Extractor and it's set up the same as that, and there are a bunch of hero skins under Textures... am I just stupid? and ONE more thing (bear with me :D)
when I'm done with the skin and I want to put it in the map, I go back to image extractor (right now it's a .tga) and do I re-save it as a .BLP? thanks!

Image Extractor III still has bugs, but has the files you want.

ok, can you give me a link to it?
