-==Adding Multiple Images to a Painting==
-{|
-|1. Open Texture Tweaker (TTT) and open the tutorial painting you made using the first painting tutorial.
-|-
-|2. In the upper left corner, click the down arrow next to the word Colorway 0 to get a drop-down menu.  From that menu select Colorway 1 and then click the number in the white box above the image you added before.
-| [[Image:CI1.jpg|thumb|500px]]
-|-
-|3. The image editor pop-up will appear.  First click Use Copy then, right after that, click Export to edit as before. Navigate to your working folder and save the .dds there using a different name than you used in the first tutorial.  Something like Second_Image works.
-| [[Image:CI2.jpg|thumb|500px]]
-|-
-|4. Open the freshly saved .dds in your image editor.  Paste your new image on it and slide it into place so it completely covers your old image.
-|-
-|5.  Merge the layers and save as DXT5 - Interpolated Alpha.
-|-
-|6. Bring up TTT again and make sure you have Colorway 1 open.  It may have reverted to Colorway 0.  If so just pick Colorway 1 as you did in step 2.  Click on the number above the image again and select Import to overwrite. Navigate to where you saved the image in step 3 and open that image.  Click ok when the message box pops up and then click OK in the lower right corner of the Image Editor pop-up box.
-| [[Image:CI3.jpg|thumb|500px]]
-|-
-|7.  Click Commit and then File/Save.  If you don't do this, and go on to add another image, the work you've done will be lost.
-| [[Image:CI4.jpg|thumb|500px]]
-|-
-|8.  Repeat steps 2-7 for Colorway 2 making sure you Commit and File/Save between each change you make to a colorway.  Remember, if you don't Commit you will lose your work.  Now all three of the painting selections in Buy mode have been changed.  You can stop here or continue to add even more image choices to the painting by going on to step 9.
-|-
-|9.  Go back to Colorway 0 and click the Duplicate button.
-| [[Image:CI5.jpg|thumb|500px]]
-|-
-|10. Go to the Colorway drop-down again and select Colorway 3 which has now been added to your package.  Click on the number above the image, as before, and select Use copy. Then select Export to edit and name the image something like Fourth_Image.
-| [[Image:CI6.jpg|thumb|500px]]
-|-
-|11.  Edit the image in your image editor as before.  Then, back in TTT, click on the number above the image and choose Import to overwrite as you did before.

-|12.  You can add more images to the painting by following steps 9-11.  Be sure to name the exported image something different if you're putting it in the same folder as you put the other images in.  Make sure to click Commit and File/Save between each image you add.
