Just starting and have a few questions

from Stardock Forums

I use to skin for winstep, but I have switched over to WindowBlinds and would like to create a few skins. I do have Photoshop CS4 and SkinStudio 7. Is there anywhere that lets you know sizes on everything, so that I can create them in PS? Also, how do I export what I create in PS to SS? Please can someone help! Any and all advice would be more than appreciated. You can e-mail me at [email protected] if need be......! Thanx in advance.

I'm sure some other folks will stop by with other links for you.

Most images do not have to be a particular size, but there are a few that do. When you start a skin, there will be default images in there that you can use as a guide for size, but for the most part, it is going to be trial and error until you get familiar with it all.

When creating images, save them as .png or .bmp and import them into SKS. If the image you are importing is a .png, SKS will automatically convert it to a .tga.

Read over the tutorials in the wiki and they will get you started. Most of the SKS tutorials are not for SKS7 but the info is still good.

Of course, you are always welcome to ask questions in the forums. There are plenty of helpful people here.

Happy skinning! :grin:
