I tryed putting effects on my rivets and panle lines but when I look at it in the skin viewer it looks wierd. This is the main problem I have. On most of my skins you can see that there are some blobs of different colors. Is this something that goes away once you add weathering or am I doing something wrong?

if you want the quick effect of dark areas running along the rivet lines take a copy of the black layer of rivets and blur it out duplicate and merge over n over till its dark enough for ya.

thats the quick way

Larry, what software are you using there? Antialiasing all those angled lines will make them look much better.

Different colored blobs -
Probably happen during the color reduction to 256 colors.
Not really a lot you can do about it.
Going from 16 million colors down to 256 things change.

Try using Brighter to do the reduction, seems to work better than most.

I use PhotoShop 7 and CS. Kev I use the "bright" plugin, is that a better version of it? I will try it and what fester said and see if that works.

Okay I downloaded brighter, how do I use it?

The original brighter was DOS..there is a windows version, just do a search for it.

I turned off all the effects and seems these "defects" only show up on dark colors. I used RLM 74 and RLM75 to test it and it showed up on 74 but not 75.

Have you tried adjusting the layers opacity?

What program are you using?

In PSP you can adjust the layers opacity and use it as a overlay, multiply, lighten, darken or whatever, to get the right look.
