I don't recall if I mentioned that SOE's Customer Service is working on beefing up the Knowledge Base. At their request I submitted some FAQ for ID. Here they are:
How do I Image Design myself?
- Either clear your target or target yourself by using Ctrl-F1. Then type
/im and you're good to go.
/im and you're good to go.
When I try to Image Design myself or my friend, all the options are grayed
out!
out!
- Some species have no options available to them at Novice Entertainer and
Image Design I. By Image Design II, eye color becomes available which can
be done on all species. In the meantime you will have to find a species
with hair or makeup to work with.

Is there a way to auto accept an Image Design offer, such as
/imagedesignConsent?
/imagedesignConsent?
- No, the person being offered an Image Design modification must hit the
"Accept" button manually. /imagedesignConsent is not usable by players.

Do Image Designers have access to anything beyond what is available in
character creation?
character creation?
- Yes, Image Designers have many hairstyles available only through the
services of an Image Designer. Ranges of character creation attributes
remain the same, so an Image Designer cannot make you taller or shorter than
you could make yourself in Character Creation for example. There are no
additional colors available to Image Designers.

I got a hairstyle change from an Image Designer and everyone says my hair is
brown/white/orange now when it looks the same as it always did to me!

- This is a known bug. When your hairstyle is changed, your hair color
defaults to a certain color (different for each species) for everyone but
you. A long logout (long enough for you to time out of the server) or
server reset will fix the problem.

Do I need resources to Image Design?
- No, just target yourself (or clear your target) or whoever you want to
Image Design and type /im.

What skill do I need to Image Design?
- Anyone with Novice Entertainer can do Image Design.
How do you get Image Design experience?
- Every time someone accepts an Image Design offer from you, you gain Image
Design experience. You also get experience from Image Designing yourself,
but it is about a quarter less than you would get by working on someone
else. To get started, target yourself (ctrl-F1) or someone else, and type
/im.

Well now they're asking for two or three questions an expert Image Designer might ask of the knowledge base. Btw, it's kind of hidden right now but the plan is for an option to be more visible to do a search on the knowledge base before submitting a customer service ticket. Any ideas? What might an expert Image Designer be tempted to ask a CSR? Keeping in mind that only 10-15% of players visit the forums regularly.

Without a doubt, a person with the "you have an outstanding offer" will be punching the CSR tickets like mad. That's the only real game-stopping bug. Other game-stopping issues, I think would be the "boxes are grayed out" one (which would send noob ID's into a panic) and the bald bug.

Slider-to-0 bug. Definitely needs a mention until it gets fixed.

*etc*
I don't know if you should include a key combo to select yourself. It's different depending on which keymap you use. For example the command is Ctrl-1 in my setup. That is really the only thing I noticed.
As for the other question, I agree that the outstanding image design offer and slider bugs should be placed in a "known bugs" paragraph with the known fix for the offer bug.

Do I need resources to Image Design?
- No resources but a good size mind pool is needed, and good (Real Life -communication skills) to figure-out what your customers want. 
Can I getBlank Wild/Crazy hair or skin color?
- No, because ?

I almost didn't include it, but some people don't seem to know there is a key for that and I've seen the devs use the default SWG mapping in their guides. Hopefully people with alternate keymaps will think to look at theirs to see what target self was reassigned to.
Thanks for the Q&A's so far everyone

Q: How come all the other professions get worked on besides image designers?
A: We decided all games need a red headed step child to smack around and laugh about while we take coffee breaks, SWG: An Empire Divided is no exception!
Q: Hey neat we get a whole line dedicated to tattoos and markings! But I can't seem to do them on humans or other species besides zabrak and twileks. Is this Intended?
A: LOL! Sucker! And we even made your tree title tattoo artist so you lose credibility in the game! How's that for immersion? At this moment only zabraks can have tattoos because how many humans do you know who wear tattoos? Erm... dont answer that.. You may give a rational explaination and we might have to actually take 20 minutes out of our melon nerfing to make a skin for an arm tattoo.
Q:How come I cant make a woman's hips and buttocks wider? Shouldn't women look like women?
A: If we put an artist on that we would never be able to revamp more important things, like coloring your speeder bikes... and you all want nice colors for your bikes right?
Q: Hey how come I am a MASTER IMAGE DESIGNER and I still get no eye shape (its eye angle), bothan hair trim, more than 8 hair styles for twileks, trandosiansand zabrak? How come I cant do more colors for hair than what is given to me at creation? How come we dont have any new content at all?
A: We have a art team that is working on other things right now, like new bike colors! Did we mention new bike colors? Oh wait you probably cant afford a bike because after 7 months no one wants to be image designed any more because there is no new content for them to enjoy. Sorry... our bad. But new bike colors! WHOO HOO!
