Modify skin textures - tutorials?

Hello,

I purchased the Growing Up Skin MR and discovered that I have no idea how to use it.  Are there any good tutorials that you could point me to that would help me get some basics under my belt?  I would like to start with (what I think) are some simple tasks like changing the base skin tone, i.e.. adding a tan tone or perhaps changing lip color.  The product does mention a tutorial on "the product page" but I cant seem to find this page.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

The PDF tutorial is linked from the readme page http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/24373/start

Are you wanting to create a new, saleabvle, texture set (which requires more than simple tone shifts) or are you just wanting to vary the appearance for your own use? The latter may be more simply achieved, for global changes, by adjusting settings in the Surfaces pane rather than editing the maps directly.

Hi Richard,

While I purchased the MR, I have no intentions of creating a product for sale or any use other than my own (at this time).  Any tutorial references would be great as I really want to learn techniques to expand my abilities beyond simple pose/render.  The step after the ones that I have mentioned would be to add "defects" such as scars, scrapes, cuts.

Thank you for pointing me to the PDF tutorial for the product as it definately contains info on specifics of the implementation.  What I am really lloking for is a a tutorial that starts from a more introductory level.  Perhaps with discussion of the different options and parts of the textures.

I hope that makes sense...
