For Image-based elements, you can use any External Image Editor for editing.

  1. Pick a character in the Stage Mode. Click the Composer button to switch to the composer mode.
  2. Select one of the body parts and then click the Launch External Image Editor button.
  3. Cartoon Animator will then launch your specified image editor (e.g. Photoshop) with the texture opened in it ready for advanced modifications.
