You're welcome, Billy. Destiny, All you need do is use the Body template, scale it to the size you need. In your paint program, put a marquee around the fingernails (and toe nails if involved) invert and cut. This will give you a nothing but nails template. Because the map is almost all white, a png will very pretty small for even a 2000 x 2000 and a JPEG as small or smaller - (I think the mono chrome is playing into PNG's strength for compression.) The Map - I am pretty sure the maps for the nails are upside down. The outside end going down. But the fingernails are funny. The part beyond the nail bed is hard to find and part of it may even fold under in the mesh. Why don't you do the investigating? On the fingernails template, do a series of parallel colored bands and see where they show up on Vicki's nails. This will define where the nail beds are and where outer tip begins. Use a nails morph and see how the texture works with it. Let me know what you find out.
