Step 1: open a map and find the bitm you'd like to modify

Note make sure you remember the size and dxt type of the image.
Step 2: Extract the bitmap and name it.

Step 3: Open image in PhotoShop.

Step 4: Once your bitmap is open in PhotoShop begin editing.

Step 5: After editing comes saving. Make sure you flatten your image or you'll get an error that states that you have to many channels.

Note: When saving it remember the dxt type from when you extracted it.
Step 5: Now you inject the bitmap.

Once injected sign the map, ftp it then see what you have created.
