Hey! I'm a Blender Enthusiast and I like to make tutorials on most things related to character creation like sculpting, modeling, texturing, lighting, rigging, and composition. Come hang out!
This might possibly be the worst music of all time.

Been using this method for ages, though not by "connecting" Blender to the image software. Since Blender is so awesome to even read PSD files, I'll just do my texturing work in Photoshop, save the file and refresh in Blender. Basically the same way. Once the texture is finished, I save it as PNG or JPG and switch the texture within Blender from the PSD to this final image. PSD is really not a good format for space efficient results, so it should never be the final image format. If you compress PSD in ZIP or RAR, heavily depending on the file's content, it can get a LOT smaller. Sometimes 98% smaller.
