Hi, I'm trying to make my character have all black skin, but on character animator the skin colors don't seem to be updating. Thanks in advance for your help!

By default, CH won't update until the focus is returned to the program. It won't automatically update while you're saving in Photoshop. Even so, subtle changes require a little more of a "push" to get CH to realize that an update is needed. Turn off a layer or move a part and save to see if that gets the attention of CH (before, of course, moving them back).

You might be running into the problem of PS saving in the background and not being finished before switching to Ch. Either wait for the save to be finished before switching, or turn off PS’s Preferences > File Handling > Save in Background.

I tried deleting the puppet file off character animator and reuploading the photoshop file. It still shows up like that with weird color mismatches even though when i view on photoshop (and on the file thumbail in Finder), it shows up as all one shade of black.
