Hello...Anyone know of any GOOD step-by-step tutorials for creating clothing in Paint Shop Pro? And when I say step-by-step, I mean STEP-BY-STEP! There are several tutorials Ive found in the forums on Photoshop and some tid bits on PSP but Im looking for very good instructions for PSP. Ive just bought the program and am not that good at it yet. So Im looking for some really good instructions. The Photoshop tutorials have gotten me a little into the clothing creation, but the 2 programs are not the same and instructions tend to get tricky when trying to guess what to do in PSP based on Photoshop instructions. Ive got the create clothing part down by simply creating a new shirt in SL and adding a simple texture to it. Im looking to design my own texture to apply to clothing. Or take a texture design (such as a jpeg) I have already and apply it to look correct on clothing. I know this topic has been asked MANY times before but Im just not having any GOOD luck. Ive also searched on classes in SL for this and have found that the ones Ive looked into agian, use Photoshop instruction. Ugh! Anyone??? Id be willing to take up a mentor at this point that wants to teach and Ive been in game well over a year. (yeah, Im not too proud to ask for help now)
Ive taught myself everything I know in SL...building, scripting, so on...but THIS has got me in a funk!
Thanks!

Hi Pear,

First of all it helps to mess around with the programme before anything else. Find your way around various tools and options. The PS tutorials will more sense then.
Secondly, once you're more familiar with PSP, you _can_ use PS turtorials. One thing that helped me in this respect is the following:

http://paintshoppro.info/tutorials/photoshop_to_paintshoppro_dictionary.htm

It basically translates PS terminology into PSP commands.

Check the stickies at the top of the forum for lots of links to great tutorials, info about where to find the templates, and more.

Hope this helps, have fun.

:)
