I am somewhat proficient in Paint Shop Pro, but trying to make a shirt in SL got me to learn about “layers” (which I had never needed to use before). Once I understood how that worked, I would flood fill the t-shirt template LL offers on the website, and cut and paste my own words or image on top of the shirt. Then, I’d just save it as a Targa (.TGA) file and import it! It took a little trial and error, what with the way an avatar’s shoulders bunch together, to get words and pictures to look okay on a person, but eventually I got the hang of it.
It’s a lot of fun to do, and now I can do impromptu shirts for birthdays and such easily.
