How do you guys retexture?

[Casino]

Hi all,

i found a tutorial on retexturing OFP Models on this website a couple of days ago. I read through it, got all those programmes needed and i think i did understand how it works.

The only thing im asking myself is: how did you guys "paint" the textures? The whole thing about converting/packing/repacking/unpacking/extracting blah, etc. i've understood. But after i converted a texture (lets say of the basic US Jeep) into .tga file and opened it with Photoshop i dont know how to apply my colors. ;-) I was thinking about using the "paint bucked" tool from photoshop and just change the differend greens into different yellows (talking about the shadows, there are brighter and darker greens). Anyone got some suggestions for me? Some "Hints" where to start, how to work etc? I mean, some of you did convert the sample Soldier-Units into Desert/Winter Camo for the new Islands (Desert Malden by STT for Example).

Would be pretty nice, if someone just throws something in here about it! ;-) Im glad for every trick or suggestion you've got for me...

Cheers!
