    Paint.net is what I used. I'm not sure if this would help, but I couldn't find a good tutorial, so I just messed around until I figured it out. The tools are quite normal, so if you've ever used a similar program, it should be easy.

    If you have any specific questions, or if you're stuck, I can specify. :)

    Ok. Do you know how to make a new layer? If not, go to the top bar and go to layers, click "new layer". Place your text . Now, go to layers in the top bar and click "flip horizontal" and "flip vertical"

    Crap, I'm on mobile, but I hope I can still help, bear with me.

    Do you know how to make a select box? If so, click on the blue mouse arrow on the toolbar and drag the selected area.

    Then just click save, not save as.

    Now open beam and select your skin.

    Can I see a pic of what you're trying to do. I'm familiar with that tutorial, but I'm having trouble understanding you...

    Woah, wrong file! Use the "hatch.skin.uvs" file instead.

    In the the same folder as the .dds file you found.
