PSP7 is payware - I personally prefer the latest version - PSP9.

PSP = Paint Shop Pro from Jasc (now Corel)

DXTBMP is freeware, and should be available from the Design Utilities page here.

You may also want to consider pixia, a freeware graphics program.

Search the computer graphics magazines (that come with CDs, since full-featured PSP5 is provided in some CDs, and for flight simmer purposes is as capable as the later versions.

Andrew - FS Repaint does have a basic editor, plus you can call up an external editor (such as PSP,Photoshop, etc) and see your changes as you go.

Generally I use FS Repaint to call up the textures, work them in PSP7/9, then do touch ups with FS Repaint (or VASS Gold, when texturing from the FSDS source file)

The few, personal repaints I've done are using photoshop.
