You will get a texture map with points drawn on it if you do this, but I only use the map as a guide for creating my own texture map, so this is no problem for me.

How do you get a texture map without the points?  Can you substitute the 'unpointed' image somewhere or at some other time?

I don't use the texture maps FaceShop makes, I use them only guides in creating a texture maps (such her is where the brow should be, here is where there is blush on the cheeks, etc). It would be nice if you could swap the photo with guides with a final photo, but as far as I know, that's not possible.
