Moving skin imperfection details on skin map

Hi, so I am very new to Daz and for now only have the base Gen 8 skin textures and I was wondering if there is a way to move the texture on the map, particularly the face map so that my models dont all have the little moles and marks on the same places. Or is this a case of needing to get a different map, if so what is a good resource for skin maps as there dosent seem to be a whole lot on the Daz store.

 

As I say, I am new to the software and apologise if my terminology dosent make a lot of sense, but I hope you get what I mean as I cant find this question asked before.

 

Thanks

Skin maps usually come with the characters you buy.

You can edit existing maps in an image editing software like Photoshop or  the free GIMP.

Or use this product: https://www.daz3d.com/skin-builder-8-for-genesis-8-females

I own the skin builder product (the G3 version) but I really prefer to edit the maps by myself using Photoshop. IMO it's a much more accurate and creative way to create the skins (or any other textures) that I need. Not easy for beginners and time consuming, but once you understand how it works you can do a lot of modifications that the skin builder automation will not be able to manage, such as moving skin imperfections.

The free GIMP application is as good as Photoshop for this kind of editing, It's worth a try.
