wait, how did you get a skin to save as a model(.mdx)? Look with WC3Viewer and any paint program you can do anything.

With WC3Viewer u extract the blp file and convert it to bmp. Customize it in PSP7 or whatever, save it as a bmp file and then use WC3Viewer to convert it back to blp. import and your done. What are you doing?

Your looking in the wrong Tab, use the blp tab, not MDX. MDXes are model, NOT skins.

K, Forgot what they all said.

Open War3 veiwer.
Find skin you want.
right click and hit export (and convert to tga) button
Then edit with photoshop.
