how can i take a preexisting plain white car skin and take a picture from like a movie or anime character and use it on my car. I want to take a picture off the net like mabe a group photo of the Formula D ravers and have it placed on both sides of my car and on the hood.

can someone tell me how to do this please i would be grateful. much thx

To do as you've said you'd like to you will need a graphics application such as paintshop pro,photoshop, the gimp etc etc.

Take the pictures you want to use and paste them into your design, then
you simply paint the rest onto a skin [either use an existing one and save it under a different name or get a template from somewhere like master skinnerz.com. Although you'll need something which can read a photoshop file to be able to use the template]

Few more bits of info on how it's done in these threads...

ok instead of starin from scratch I found a plain white skin already existing on lfs. i want to just take that and copy and past the pic i want on there but it wont do it. I have i think regular paint shop pro. i find the skin templ8 then right click and hit edit to go to paint shop pro. then i click copy on the photo i want but i cant past it to my car templ8 can someone help me plz

Not really. If you can't manage copy and paste then I doubt our help will be much use.

As a suggestion, did you actually select the image you want to copy are are you expecing the computer to magically know what to put on the clipboard?

k i think i figured it out but when i put them on the templ8 their kinda of distorted and have white dots on em and are kinda choped. how can i get a perfect pic. tryin to find out how to do it so i can have a private personal skin to be unique.

I don't want to sound patronising, but you sound as though you don't have very much experience with graphics software.

Try havnig a read of some of the stuff on this page, since this forum is geared up more for people to show off their skins than to ask questions, particularly questions relating to how to use software rather than how to make skins.
