I want to make a skin, but dont have PhotoShop

I want to make a skin, but I dont have PhotoShop to export to .dds format to put into the .mat file. Is there a file converting tool that converts exactly to the Freelancer format?

you don't need to be able to save into direct draw, targa format works in freelancer just as well, just larger file size.

i've already tried targa format, it just makes a tan color on the areas where its supposed to be the texture i specified.

SKins can be created in photoshop?

in having it be tan instead of the parts you specify, just remember that with targas you have to flip the picutre vertically right when you put it into fl, with .dds you can leave it normal though.

why does it matter in which direction its flipped? it wont effect it any way at all.
