I'm kinda new at this. I just made a reskin in Paintshed. It works. But I'm puzzled by the fact that when I look in CMP at other people's reskins, there's a thumbnail showing the item, logos and text and all. Mine has no thumbnail at all. I have not uploaded it to DLS, it's only on my PC as yet. I don't really know what I'm doing, I guess, but I looked via "edit in explorer" at the other assets, and they have a "preview.bmp" that clearly is a screenshot that they made. My asset has a preview.bmp as well, but is just the default car with my coloring on it but not my text, and as I said it doesn't show in CMP.

I have made a screenshot, but have no idea where to put it and how. The folder that shows up when I go through "edit in explorer" doesn't seem to exist out of the CMP realm.

I'm thoroughly confused :'( Somebody please help me!

Thanks so much. I searched a lot for "thumbnails" and such here in forum, but didn't think of looking for uploading. This seems to be the answer.

And it works too! Thanks again.
