I'm new, and this is my first TS4 CC attempt. Before reading my post, please know that I read the "read this first" pinned posts at the top, and was unable to find an answer to my problem - however being new, I admit that I may have missed any explanation due to lack of understanding and ignorance regarding certain terms. Please be gentle.
I wanted to make some Harry Potter recolors of a canvas. I decided to use the Leaf Pile Prints from Dine Out.
Using S4S I saved the package file with my new name and edited the catalogue info. I exported the texture, and brought that into Photoshop CC as a .dds file.
Now, here's where I'm having trouble, I think - and I'm not sure this is the right place to post my question (because it's a combination of Photoshop and S4S). The canvas texture appears in Photoshop as an infinitely smaller repeat like so:
I added my desired photos over the leaf pattern, and resized them for the smaller and smaller patterns, flattened the image and imported the new texture into S4S. Fixed the swatch colors, and then saved it and copied the package file to my game mods folder.
Here's how it looks in game though:
I assume it's something to do with me covering those infinitely smaller images in the texture, so I tried again with The Numbers Woman's blank canvases, and only pasted a picture over the first and largest one like so:
This time, I get "Your image here" as a ghost under my HP reference image. :/
I tried to follow a tutorial for recoloring paintings, but the tutorials I've found don't have textures like what I'm seeing - no infinitely smaller textures on the screen, just the one with an obvious area to place your own images. Please link a tutorial for this kind of canvas recolor, if there is one that I've missed. I will continue looking as well. Thank you so much for all the hard work put into S4S, and a huge hug to anyone who reads my post and/or responds to it. Holding a new person's hand can be a challenge - know that I appreciate it!
