Photoshop CS2 is free to get and keep.

There an alternative of that? =)

Hey, I missed this topic completely when it first popped up so may as well help now.

In gimp theres a tab that looks like this[puu.sh]
Clicking on the eye to the left of each layer will hide that color layer (hiding red makes things not red)
Clicking the bar itself will deselect editing of that color that means if blue not highlighted you will not change blue at all on the image.

Now what those layers do are explained on the guide site.

http://www.overkillsoftware.com/workshopmanual/
Red Channel
Red channel defines opacity in the texture. 0-255, with 0 being completely transparent and 255 being fully shown.

Green Channel
Green channel defines the color lookup from the Pattern Gradient. (See Pattern Gradient)

Blue Channel
Blue channel defines the gloss value of the texture. 0-255, with 0 equaling no gloss and 255 is maximum gloss.

Alpha Channel
Alpha channel defines the specular control of the texture. 0-255, with 0 equaling no specular and 255 is maximum specular.

So nice, that's working very well! Big thanks.

No problem, if you need help with tricks feel free to come to me

Top 6 pixels should usually be green if its red or blue they will look very colorful plastic or a weird yellow/red shine.
You can use red and blue also but only if you mean to have the gradient look more plastic or ect

Plastic/Wood material interest me, Green/Blue make the best result, i want something less shiny but it is enough.

Thanks again =)

Ready to work!

Tbh better than a fair few skins on the workshop, Id say it needs some kind of logo similar to the BrownRiver skin.

For the moment it is just a test, my skin will be oriented night/stealth. I have done the palette of colors.

I have a question, there a limit of base gradiant / pattern / pattern gradiant / stickers we can apply/use on one skin?

Sorta, pretty much you should stay under 2048x2048 total pixels... so for example the base gradient takes up 256x256 of 2048x2048 leaving you with (I hope) 1792x1792 pixels left to work with.
For example...

Uses (I forgot base gradient/pattern gradient costs so thats a 4x4 each)
And this below is only 1024x1024 total
