| − | Skintones are one of the hardest things to recolour, with many textures and requiring a lot of time and effort to do anything but recolouring an existing skintone. If you want to photoskin a skintone, the technique in [[Tutorials: How to Make a Sim's Face Using Source Pics|How to Make a Sim's Face Using Source Pics]] explains how to pull apart a texture to apply pieces of it to a face. The exact same technique is used, just over and over on the whole body, to create a photoskinned skintone.

| − | * [http://www.3d.sk 3d.sk] - By far the best, this site offers thousands of high-resolution photos of all sorts of people, in various states of undress (so yes, there is non-sexual artistic nudity there, you are warned). You do have to pay for a membership, but the prices are incredibly reasonable, the service is great, and the quality and range of pics is just not available elsewhere at any price. If you're serious about creating an all-new photoskinned skintone, pick up a month or two of membership here.

And in general, there are tons of pics threads on there, of specific models and celebrities, types of makeup, and just about anything you can imagine. It can be a lot of fun to explore.
