Help with texturing

[XxEnigmAxX]

hi everyone,
sorry if this has already been done i couldn't really find what i was looking for and i tried to ask around but got know answer.
basicaly i love armed assault(non sexualy)
and want to get into the mod making scene a little.
i have alot of experience with photoshop so texturing seems the obvious choice.
but besides a program like cs2 what do i need to make textures?
if anyone could write me like a simple list ie,
you need,x,y,z,
x to view
y to apply
z to give you asprins when you get a head ache from not understanding what the hell your doing. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/banghead.gif
i tried googling for a tutorial or rough explanation but found nothing.
basicaly im begging for someone to help me i couldn't get into the ofp scene because of lack of time and now im determined to do it for arma.
if anyone could help me i'd worship them.

Enigma to give you a straight answer to the question "but besides a program like cs2 what do i need to make textures?" i will say none!
photoshop is the reference, relating textures and photo editing, so since u have alot of experience with it,i'm sure you will be welcomed in any mod comunity.Texturing is considered by the majority of plp who ever trys 2d/3d's the hardest part of process. i work with gimp (free software) and it does it all i need relating my textures. but cs2 is way more powerfull, so ur lucky i guess!
About tutorials, there arent any for arma and textures(that i'm aware) but better search on wiki. textview2 was released this week, so maybe there's tutorials on the way.
meanwhile i'll pass u a link which is very interesting to read (4pages). it's a hints&tips for "how to do right" a model for nextgen game. so if ur skills at cs2 are good u wont have many problems with this addon stuff.!
