Edit DashDAQ Graphic Files

If anyone is interested in editing the graphic Targa files (.tga) files that come with the DashDAQ Skin Editor you can use a freeware program called Paint.Net. I've only used it to edit a few files but it seems to do a good job and is easy to use. I tried a few other editors that caused problems when I reloaded the files but this one seems to work OK. Follows is a link:

Paint.NET - Free Software for Digital Photo Editing

Edit: If you running Windows XP you must have service pack 3 installed to run Paint.Net.

That is a good free program. I tend to use Illustrator, but that's nowhere near being free. There is also another vector program that is a free open source that exports in targa files that's like a bare bones Illustrator. I'll see if I can find that program and post it in here as well.
