Editing Skin!

[scourge069]

I'm trying to recolor a skin. its the Textures\Ghost2.blp, I'm trying to change the blue glow thingy around it into gray but I keep on failing. I found tutorials on how to edit a skin using Gimp but they are all for editing unit skins. btw i'm using Gimp . please anyone help me.

It sounds to me like you just want to recolor the texture. In that case, select the "Free Select" tool (the F-key), mark the area you wish to change, right click and select the "Colors" menu. This provides a variety of different ways for you to recolor the area (personally I prefer the "Hue-Saturation" option, but I also use "Colorize" or even "Colorify" on some occasions).

For adjusting the colors a bit Indeed.
Well I'll look at it too if you don't mind.

I see. It's not hard.

maybe because the particles that uses ghost2.blp is tinted blue. you will need to edit the model if that's the case

what I mean is to recolor only the parts. I tried using Free Selector but the result is awful ..but that's alright now, I was able to find another way to get through this .

anyways +REP to you people ..
