How do you save a texture as skin in SL?

[BrookeRanger]

I have AO and UV files that have helped me create a skin texture. My question now is, how do I upload it to SL and give it that little image skin icon? What format is that?

Thank you for your help

you upload as tga or png justlike any other texture. in your viewer you then right click in your inventory to create a new skin and that little skin icon will appear. Name it whatever you want and wear it. then go into edit mode and you will be able to drag and drop your uploaded textures in the according slots
