skin modders
 

who are the best skin modders here... i wanna know techniques you all use when modding your skins.. do you use photoshop or fireworks?

It's not possible to answer this question. Everyone is good in one way or another

I'm hardly one of the best, but my skin is completely hand-built (see link in my sig).

I use Paint Shop Pro, HTML-Kit, and the greatest coding tool known to man - notepad. ;)

Amen.

Yep, best WYSIWYG editor ever.

Adobe Creative Suite 3!

As for the notepad, its not doing to much for me with this vBulliten stuff, way to used to using Dreamweaver to do websites.

Too slow and uses too much memory for being used for large projects, like properly designed/coded vbulletin styles (meaning: every single item is designed, not just header/footer and few icons). I'm still using CS1 and have no plans to upgrade it.

Weird, its not to slow on my machine, and its works perfect for our massively large flash, 3d, ad, animation and web projects.

Then again I work in a totally different field, I am definitely NOT a vbulletin or a styles coder, as is evident.

Maybe you have a better PC? Anyhow, it's not slow on my computer and I use Vista (w/ Aero)...

I use Photoshop for making the images, then I go back to Ubuntu to script, design, markup, edit, etc.

The only tools you'll ever need - Photoshop and GEdit.

WRONG! GEdit > All.

You forgot Beer, Pizza, Vodka and Hot Pockets ;)

i have purchased alot of skins and i use photoshop cs2. some of the skins i purchased the slices wouldnt show up in earlier versions like 7.

Oh, but how could I forget?

But if you want to go deep into detail:

• GEdit.
• Photoshop.
• IceWeasel.
• Goa/Trance by Gorkamorka blasting.
• Alcohol.
• Pizza.
• Week-long insomnia.

BBEdit and Photoshop... these are the tools... :) ok, i'm on a mac!

I can make a good sig here and there and even a wallpaper, but when it comes to skinning a vb im lost.

yeagh i like dreamweaver.. ive got used to the find tool and dreamweaver can find a whole code where if i type the string in notepads find tool it says not found in document.. i cant live without dreamweavers find and replace tool lol.

i use photoshop CS2 and PSPad
