I have been trying to make my life easier by using a quicker tools to paint onto a character rather than going through the whole UV unwrap process, I did find a pretty damn nifty program called Bodypaint. it is very easy to import your character directly into this program as it unwraps it for you and then paint onto it there and then whilst you can see your 3d model, hell you can even paint directly onto your 3d model . it takes very few processes and wont leave any seam marks at all. I did however find that if I wanted to create bump map you would still have to stretch realign the UV map but I couldnt be bothered to learn how to do it again in another program, at least not now as I have a big project on the go. It's definitely worth a look though and could save your hide in the future if you have the time to learn how to use it - It only took me about 1 hour of playing around with it and looking through a few tutorials online to get a basic of it (it's basically Photoshop but with 3D).
Heres an example me playing around with it.
...Oh and here's a link for the free Demo version if you want.
