      Maybe you did not set your image editor in Window/preferences/apllication

        A simpler way is to just select any face that has the texture and click "edit texture image". At least that's the way I've always done it.

          I did all of the above suggestions thanks by the way. Pixelmator wants to know where to save it, by default it wants to save it in MacHD/private/tmp so I let it didn't work, so I did it again and saved it in user/documents didn't work, I guess what I need to know is where to save it ?

            If it asks you where you want to save it, something's wrong, and it won't work. Are you clicking "Save" or "Save As"?

                fellas... he's on a mac -- these are windows things you guys are talking about...


                pixelmator is weird in that it's trying to save the texture as a .pxm file (pixelmator's own file type.. similar to photoshop's .psd etc..)

                so, when you're in pixelmator's save dialog, tick the box that says 'save copy as [png, jpg, or whatever format the texture happens to be.. the right choice will already be selected for you but it will vary depending on which type of texture you're using]
                (then choose 'replace' at the prompt)
