Does anyone know of good software for drawing within an Exported UV MAP... Say I export a Bitmap from an unwraping tool... The bitmap has a white outline of all the UV space. What would be a good tool, or proceedure to draw, and get rid of the white lines, besides magnifying and erasing pixel at a time.

Regards,
Eric

Personally I set the UV map from the unwrap tool as a base layer on a paint program then just add a layer and start drawing over the top. This way you can keep the various elements of your UV map seperate. This is handy if at any point you change the positions of some of your UVs you can just move the layers around and line up your image again.
