One trick I've found is to open the texture in PhotoPaint (or photoshop) and put the tattoos on different layers. Position the parts so they look close and then save the picture as a PSD file. Leave photopaint running and go to Poser. Load your figure and then apply the PSD file to the figure. The nifty thing about this is that you don't have to reload a new texture everytime you make changes. When you render the figure the texture is automatically updated. So load the texture, render the figure and see how close it is. Then switch over to photopaint and make adjustments. Then save the PSD. Go back to poser and re-render. The texture will automatically reload. Note, you have to render the figure before the chage will show. Repeat until you get it matched up properly. It's not perfect, but it beats rendering, making changes, saving, loading a new texture, and rendering. Eric J
