I have just started to create my first skin , and my main question is what are the best effects to use in photoshop or ways that a base skin can be created?
I have the colour I want for my skin but I am not sure how to create that realistic skin look , I would appreciate any suggestions.
I have photoshop and blender both installed.
Thank you.

Here's a good tutorial on how to create a base skin using noise and other PS filters.

that is an awesome tutorial =)

you can also compare the above with the SL hilighting and shadow alphas ( in the "second life/character/" folder which will tell you were sl is going to place those things (and not a bad helper for placement))
