Artie Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Just how do you take a skinned plane and add your own touches to it using Adobe Photo shop 7 I can do a skin from a void easy enough , but adding numbers or details on factory paint job... no so easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 IIRC you just save it as a psd. then you can add layers to that file, and adjust the opacity of the new layers till they look good on the skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyKnight Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Artie, Let TOAD and others said, just add a new layer to whatever you wish to add. You will need to adjust the OPACITY of the text. Otherwise, you'll have a nice skin with a great weathering effect, and then your text in bright, bold colours looking like brand new and it'll stick out like a saw thumb. Try some nice font too, like this maybe? http://www.ffonts.net/4077th.font p.s. I just saw that MT had posted some good links for fonts, stick with them then.
