Maya And PhotoShop

Hello Forum-


Can someone please!!! explain, "How does PhotoShop fit into the complete process" For the texturing, UVing and Map phase.

I ran across a couple of modelers that mention PhotoShop, sending the model into the program to do things to it, now mind you , they do not explain why this is needed and they go on.

I always see it at the bottom of there artwork, but never explain.

I thought that everything is handle inside Maya itself regarding the coloring phase or should I say Texturing, UV-ing, Maps,,, see I am not really sure how it all works.

So it will be great if this can be explained to me if possible.

Again, why would PhotoShop be needed at all?, would be my question. And remember I am new to all of this so my question might seem foolish.

But it's something that I always think about but can not get my head around the reasons why, and that's simply because I do not know.

Thanks for you help,,,
