      Hi, everyone
      I am probably missing something very obvious, and I apologize for being lazy to search the forums, but I am really getting stuck here and could use some help.
      I was trying to add some details on an old airplane model by projecting textures onto a particular section (like nose art).
      I used to think I am familiar with the workflow - I drew a face, painted it (0037 Sandy Brown) then Make Unique Texture, Edit Texture Image, etc.
      But why is it that every time after I save my work in PS, the RGB value changes as soon as it is updated and I cannot seem to change it back?
      It really looks odd compared to the rest of the modeltexture.jpg

      Thanks in advance!

      Comfortably numb...

        Could you post the SKP of your sample model?

          Sorry, I don´t have it right now. But here is a part of that 88 with the same problem.

            I'm not used to change the mats with PS so I don't know much about that, but an easy way to fix it is using the "match color on screen" feature: just select with the eyedropper the mat in which you want to change the color of the background, click the button and pick the new color.

              I think using a colour in SU has never yielded in the same "look" as an image material with that exact same RGB value as pure colour in it.

                Thanks for the info, guys.
                I gave it a quick shot with SimLab Composer, it shows up as two separate parts, but it doesn´t seem to affect the render that much.cylinder.jpg

                  Are you possibly mis_applying projected texture? http://www.youtube.com/aidanchopra#p/c/ED1EE89D47DB7EE5/2/HHsRRLCAOm8

                      Well. very interesting. First time to see this. I want to look at this. My question now is how about in the rendering?

                        I have only tried SimLab Composer, as you can see above, and it shows up as two separate models with two different materials. The difference wasn´t that visible in a render, but I haven´t really spent too much time tweaking the settings.
