Since this is my first puppet, I want to use a template puppet.  It opens in adobe character. How can I toggle it back in forth to open in photoshop to make the artwork

my own character?  Is that how it works?

Thanks for any help.

    Did you open a template puppet from the start menu? If so, select it in the project panel and then go to Edit/Edit Original. This will open the puppet in either Photoshop or Illustrator. Then you can do any editing you want. It usually is preferable to first save to a new file, so the original template is still available.

    You can also download template files from Character Animator resources online, such as from here

    Thanks . I got a puppet downloaded into photoshop.  Do you know a good video to watch someone change a template puppet to their own. 

    I tried to change the color of the head but it would only recolor which did not look good.  

    Thanks again.

    Thanks KJerryK,   I'm trying to get familiar with what my options are. I' m fairly familiar with photoshop but mostly dealing with photos and not creating a puppet. 

    So far though, if you can't change the color of the puppet head then each element would need to be recreated but the folders would be organized.  I am hoping to use a template for my first one.

    I will check out your information before I continue.   Thanks--Looking forward to getting started.


    I didn't mean to give the impression that the existing puppet head can't be changed. Which template were you trying?
