Wut skinning program do u use. In gimp u just need to add an alpha channel and then erase the part u want to be transparent. I'm not sure about other skinning programs tho.

yea, well psp works for custom skins and all, cause i use 125 viewer 2 convert them so it automatically adds in an aplha channel for me, but i guess i cant make transparent parts then, right?

megaerthia you could still do it if he saves it as targa and then you edit from there in photoshop then upload it back up.
