I don't know what your saying, but if you want to take a pic of your custom skin.

You have to put the Blp In a subfolder in the War3 Folder (It has to be like that of the mpq, For example, Units/Human/Priest/ would all have to exist and the blp would have to be in priest) Too take the picture click the little camera button, then save as a JPG/GIF and your done.

You want to preview your skin using wc3 viewer? here's how...

Extract the model's .mdx file somewhere, lets say c:\wakka\

Now, take a look at the model's textures and rebuild the texture's folders then place your texture in .tga format in the final folder. Open the extracted .mdx file in wc3viewer and press ctrl-A and the new skin will appear.

For example if i want to do this with the druid of the claw this is what i would do.

Extract DruidOfTheClaw.mdx to c:\wakka\

The texture for that is in units\NightElf\DruidOfTheClaw\ so i make a folder names "units" in my folder "wakka"

So now i have this c:\wakka\units\

I need to create another folder called "NightElf" in the units folder. Last of all i need to create a "DruidOfTheClaw" folder in my "NightElf" folder.

So in the end i should have a path that looks like this c:\wakka\units\NightElf\DruidOfTheClaw\

Its in this last "DruidOfTheClaw" folder that i put my Druidoftheclaw.tga in. I open the original DruidOfTheClaw.mdx in the "wakka" folder and press ctrl-A and it'll use my new skin.

I dont know if you understand all that, its a little difficult to describe. I dont know if this is the best way to do it. But this is how i do it.
