Unmasked Faces by AltheaR

This mod gets rid of green tint from detailmaps.
Detailmap is a kind of skin texture which is used for rendering freckles, roughness, aging, and clearness.
If you are annoyed by neck color seam or head color difference from torso despite using the same color/tone textures(diffuse map, normal map, and specular map), try this.

Even in vanilla Skyrim, we have this issue.
I think it is caused by the system of dds compression/decompression, especially in DXT1 method.
So, do not compress the files of this mod.

This workaround was found by narphous in 2013.

And Fair Skin Complexion (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51602/) has already adjusted its freckles and rough textures to avoid this green tint problem.
So, if you use it, don�ft overwrite them with my mod.

How to fix the green tint:
As Vanilla detailmaps, transparent color seems to be R:G:B = 63:64:63.
Change the cursed green grey to 64:64:64 (or 63:63:63).
And then save it as an uncompressed dds without alpha channel.


Permission:
Credit me, and free to use.
But DO NOT convert this mod for using other games than Skyrim, these textures are Bethesda Softworks' property.
