Okay, so I downloaded a new skin and it's supposed to look like this:
I tweaked it a bit to suit my personal likings, but I did not do anything at all the the second layer. So when I put it in the game it ends up looking like this:
See how the extra layer isn't showing up? Why is that? Yes, I do have the current version (1.7.8) What am I doing wrong? Is it because I edited the face and nothing else a little bit? Is it because the game doesn't like me? Is it because the game thinks I'm ugly? Is it because I didn't brush my teeth yesterday??? Is it because of this and that and this and that and AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
Same with my charizard skin the layers do not show
1.7.8 is not a version that has the new skin format. Use 14w11b.
Basically, 1.7.8 is just an internal update to 1.7.5 that will allow for name changing. It doesn't actually have any new "features."
A little off topic, but someone really needs to contact PMC about their skin previewer. The outer layers in the previewer stick out a lot more than they actually do in game, making the skin look better than it actually does.

Will skin editors like Miners Need Cool Shoes and the Skindex work for 1.8? Sorry for the nooby question but I don't understand the new 'skinning' process
Over the past year this site has grown more than anyone could have anticipated. However the infrastructure behind the site was not scalable. We took the new skin formats in 1.8 as an opportunity to rebuild the site. There will be many more cool features to come. So what does this mean for you?

Okay, but seriously, why is it like this?

Well, they do exist in game, but only in the snapshots. When 1.8 rolls around they'll be fully implemented. Hence why it's called "1.8" skin layers.
