Question Howto export PSD for new skin
Hey,

A couple of days ago I bought the X-Cart v4.2 GOLD with a "Graphic prototype"-skin.
I downloaded the template-file and opened the .PSD file in Photoshop CS4.
I thought the file was already "sliced" and ready to export.
The File has only "Guides".

How do I export this skin in Photoshop so that the pictures can replace the pictures of skin1?
I can still keep the template of skin1 but only have to replace the images to install this bought "Graphic Prototype" file?

Thanks in advance!

did it come with a skin1 folder?

you can't export a PSD for xcart. it has to be done manually. no install instructions or anything?

who did you buy this from? I contact them and get install instructions.

Those are jsut PSD files, you'd need to slice them up and add them to your templates manually.

you bought a prototype which is not a skin. it is representation of what your skin could look like. Im guessing there were some gif files included with your prototype?

Smile Re: Howto export PSD for new skin
The .ZIP file contains 4 files:
- 1_Fashion_home_page.psd
- 1_Fashion_home_page_780.psd
- 2_Fashion_category.psd
- readme

The readme file only contains this sentence:
"The PSD files are saved in CS2 Photoshop version"

I bought the skin here:
http://www.x-cart.com/graphic-prototypes.html

How do I know what to name the exported slices/images?

Thnx!

I notice it know...
Thought this was just a matter of exporting in Photoshop and replace the original "skin1" images.

well spend several sleepless night rifling through template files.

Its a pain if you don;t know what you are doing.

Id suggest getting your money back and paying the extra money for a real skin.

It seems like this will be an impossible job!
