Rather cumbersome attempting to talk to you through the Planet Minecraft comments section. I went and pulled back up my login for here just to talk to ya about this.
Myself and my younger brother are looking over your current version and here's a list broken down into categories of how I feel about this:
1. Things I love:
The color swatches and selector, especially RGB mode. This is implemented much more efficiently and simply than previous editors I have used. I would call this the absolute best feature.
The separation of burn/dodge and bright/dark, with variable brush sizes. This is something Swedman never did with SkinEdit that was always necessary.
Allowing both a 3D and 2D preview with the ability to work on either version is great.
Unsaved changes warning. Nice to see that.
2. Things that I feel could use tweaking:
Right now, the 3D preview takes up approximately 30% of the total application window, while most of it is just empty space for the grass/background. This feels very bulky. Consider altering the size of the 3D preview when using split view mode.
Opening the application should default to a new, untitled skin, rather than immediately open on a sample skin.
Circular brush only allows odd-number based shapes. Can you make even-number brushes as well? Perhaps consider splitting up the brush shape from size selector to cut down on UI list length.
3. Things I would like to see added:
Layering, such as the ability to draw over portions of the skin without altering the current appearance "below" it, so that painting or deleting may be done to a specific bit of one layer while the previously existing colors remain in place "underneath".
Gradient brush, or the ability to select a treshhold area and create both linear and radial gradients within the selected portion.
Hue/Saturation shift brush, or the ability to select a threshhold area and alter the hue/saturation of the entire selected area.
Drop shadow effect, such as the ability to select a threshhold area, then automatically apply an exterior shading filter onto the area surrounding it.
Bevel/Emboss effect, such as the ability to select a threshold area, then automatically create brightness effects to make the area appear raised.
Mouse-button shortcuts for erase and select color. I suggest left-click paints, right-click erases, and middle click color selects.
4. Things that appear broken or unfinished (sorry, I didn't read the entire thread, don't know where you are on this):
I was unable to import skins from my local machine, or from minecraft profiles (directory not found i/o error)

Ah, might just have been lag. Some feature requests: Changed text color (so I can have a white background), and increased bush sizes. ... :biggrin.gif:

Somebody probably already asked this, but will you get it to work for mac any time soon? That would be really helpful, again if someone already asked this then sorry.

Changed text color? Go to View < 2D < Overlay to change the 2d view overlay, if that's what you're talking about. There are brush sizes; expand the toolbox (it should be by default), select the Pencil (or any other brush-based tool) and use the Brush combobox to change the brush size/shape.
Please look through the program before suggesting features, especially if we already have them.

We're working on a cross-platform version. A few pages back I discussed MCSkin3DX in more detail.

In some cases, the site may report an error that the editor doesn't catch (and it assumes it passed).
Upload it manually through www.minecraft.net to get the error message (if any), and report it back here; that would help us fix the issue.
Really great! way better than the miner shoes website! please keep updating and i will be so happy when we can re-texture animals and blocks and stuff!

Curse PremiumGot most of you down on Skype :smile.gif:
Me neither!
Good to know!
What do you mean by "real-time" exactly? You can maneuver the camera while using any tool (read the status strip at the bottom of the 3D/2D view).

it says " Image is not 64x32 pixels "
could increasing the resolution have caused a error?

Curse PremiumThe image cannot be lower or higher than 64x32.
Increase and Decrease Resolution is for mods and texture packs, not for using in-game skins.
