Does anyone know how to put number and words on your nose like Nightcat. I guess my question is does anyone know how to do nose art. :?:

I love noseart - spend more time messing with that then anything else lol

Not sure how to answer the question, good start would be - are you familiar with paint shop pro 9?

Airhawk,

PhotoShop is about $650, but you can buy and older version for around $100 and then pay for a $200 upgrade.

PaintShopPro is around $100, but you can find it for as little as $29.

GIMP is free. It's a wee bit harder to use, but ... like ... it's free?!?

Here's a link ...

GIMP

I think that's the good GIMP site.

These programs allow you do use layers and layers are what a skin or a template is all about.
