Even if you use Photoshop or some other graphics program, there may be some useful information for you here, especially if you struggle with alpha channels. I continue to learn more and do not claim to be an expert. For instance, during the making of this tutorial, I learned that I could use png files rather than bmp's when making alpha channels... seems easier to me.

Although painting a tour modified is the focus here, you could easily use this guide to assist in painting templates for many other mods
