Jpg vs PSD
I just tried to open some the blank hero templates and found out they were PSD files. I think that this is a photo shop document but don't have any access to Photo shop or anything that opens photo shop drawings. Is there an advantage to leaving these as PSD files? I know that darn near EVERYTHING would open jpg files...

PZ, you can use free image editing program The GIMP to open PSD. Its interface isn't the friendliest, but you can always use it to convert to something else. The problem is, you can't do this thing easily with a JPG. It requires image layers to be on to get everything to look right, and to allow changing between the 2/3/4 wound templates, as well as doing the fonts neatly

There are other free image editing programs out there, but I'm not sure which ones open PSDs... Paint.NET probably does as well.

I downloaded GIMP. Thanks for the guidance.

There is alot going on with those templates... Thanks to whoever set these up!

I downloaded a much simpler template and went to town making sure nearly everything was 100% like the original in game. Thanks for appreciating the hard work! Watchmen02

RE: Jpg vs PSD
Did anyone else have problem with an error from GIMP when they tried to open any of the ATOE templates? I've been trying to get some of the villain ideas I had into Gallery format....

It might be because they're in CMYK? I use Photoshop. I think there might be a plugin for GIMP to handle CMYK files.

Wow, that's exactly the error... Am on it.
