Starting with a 'blank' canvas it can take hours to line camo scheme's/patterns etc up, and without a ready made template even longer (as I found making Wellington/Anson/Blenheim and Defiant templates)
So to get to the 'couple of minutes' can in fact take many hours or days.

Chris is dead right it can take hours to fine tune a Skin to look right.
Many Layers may be required for things like Markings,Camo and weathering etc.
Also dont forget the ammount of Reference work required for a specific aircraft to achieve an accurate portrayal.
Templates are a fantastic aid and form the basis of any skin But its what is added to it that makes the final result a unique representation of the chosen subject.
And there are always those annoying parts of a skin where paint has not shown up properly on the Template overlay and even with Panel Finder can take hours to pin point and rectify:mad:
Creating Templates can take several Hours\Days as I know from experience[Ju-88 & Do-17] but very rewarding especially if that particular Template does not already exist and even more gratifying to see other Skinners Create amazing Skins using Your Template:cool:
I respect anyone who has made any type of Skin because they bothered to do it in the first place and in the process someone benefits from using it.
