Well, I basically just keep reloading the original file and then tweaking the color values slightly differently, to try and find the little bit that says "make everything black and irreversible"... but I haven't found it as of yet.

And I really don't know where some of the values fit in... I found one labeleb something like "rgb < r, g, b>" which I figure means something like "do not change rgb settings for this part" while still typing it in so the program doesn't mess up when it can't find rgb settings for that part, and I haven't tried subbing numbers yet... aargh. I think I'm actually going to have to just change each little value one by one until I know what they all do.

If only I had more time... it's been Monday for a half-hour already and I have school in 6 and a half hours.

Note: This is how I learned Photoshop, but Photoshop says things like "grayscale" and "bas relief" instead of "phong" and "specular". Seriously, what the hell is "phong"?
