first get paintshop pro form http://www.jasc.com/
then get the dds plugin from http://www.nvidia.com/
put the plugin in the plug-ins folder inside the paintshop folder
- go to hmt (halo map tools)
- navigate to bitmaps
- choose the skin you want to eehm... skin
- see in what type of dds it is (dds 1, dds 2, dds 3)
- press save
- open the dds in paintshop pro
- edit it as much as you want
- save as the dds format that it was before using the exiting bitmaps
- go to mht
- navigate to the skinned eehm... skin
- press inject
- save

Enjoy your skin!

NOTICE: there are some collors you cant see in halo!!!

With Photoshop, you just need to download the Nvidia DDS Plugins, then you can open/edit them in Photoshop.

DDS plugin for Photoshop: http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=463
put them into these directories(which are defalut install on PC):
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\Adobe Photoshop Only
and
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\Adobe ImageReady Only
or
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\File Formats

hey
instead of making a new post i decided to add here.
I d/led HMT v.3.5 and its working, but he also said to get some file cause the other one wasnt working, but the d/l link wasnt working so i dont have it but mine still works.. so everything should be alright right?
and also i can just use g max to model halo right?
sorry for all the dumb questions but yeah.
any help would be appreciated. thanks

do you mean that photoshop is still working, or that hmt is still working(assuming photoshop)?
If you mean photoshop, it should work without the plugin, but you shouldn't be able to open dds files.
-Yes you can use gmax for halo modeling, but you need to find the plugins for the .obj files...wherever they are
