My question might seem dumb, but its basically this. How do I alter a map [example Sarsa or Forbidden Whispers] sold as a merchants source. I know how to actually alter the map in photo shop thats not the problem. My issue is, just how much altering do I have to do in order to use the map for a future character that I want to sell. Both Sarsa and Forbidden Whispers suggest practically the same thing "However, you must alter the maps and make them your own in order for you to resell them" just how much altering would be involved.
Would you have to remove a mole, add a mole, add something else, remove a blemish add a blemish.
See? I told you it was a dumb question, its not as if I have the skills to create my own skin, thats why I am using their skins, would appreciate some input about this as i am sure its a concern for other creators of characters.
Thanks for reading, sorry if its confusing, its confusing me too. I could ask Sarsa or Forbidden Whispers but I thought I would ask the group first.

The whole point is to create your own character off of this base, so things like adding freckles, changing the hue, brightness and saturation of the skin, makeup options, moles, tattoos, etc are what you should be adding to the MR.
if you don't plan to change much, then basically you are just re-selling what the vendor sold in the first place.
Thanks I thought it was that but wasn't sure, xxx just wanted to check, I do hate plagarism, hotlinks and stolen graphics. I didn't want to have to "hack" the skin to pieces by smudging out finer detail, but a few freckles, moles, even tattoos appeal thanks, ooo birthmarks too ;)
There are also stretchmarks as well and there was a free MR sometime back provided arteries and veins
