Default Recolored clothes not showing up?
I am following the tutorial to recolor clothes in GIMP and things look fine in the program, but when I load them in Body Shop they look unchanged.

I used "color mode" to shift the color to grey scale. Then I switched it back to color and created a new layer. I set the new layer to "hard light" and used the airbrush to free hand a was of color over the coat with a different color for the hood lining and boots. I hit "save" and then closed the program. When I hit reload in body shop and chose the project, It didn't look any different.

In Gimp, make sure you're actually saving the files properly as BMP and saving over the original files. The saving mechanisms in Gimp is a known problem in relation to Bodyshop.

Gimp saves files as the internal format, so if you don't select the proper "export" format, you either get wrongly colored clothes or no changes to the BMP files.

Quote:
When you "export" an image as a BMP in GIMP it brings up a dialog allowing you to choose settings. Under "advanced options" the default setting is "32 bits: A8 R8 G8 B8". This setting doesn't work in Body Shop. Instead select "24 bits: R8 G8 B8".
