No worries, RDF. I didn't consider it a troll question. Depending on what you mean to do, Poser can be the means to an end or the end in itself. Depending on what you need to do, you may be able to do it with Poser alone, you may need Postwork, or the render may simply be a working sketch. I recommend you spend the time to get to know the tool as thoroughly as you can. If you were going to do airbrush art, I'd recommend that you learn all the ways to use your airbrush, how to take it apart and put it together, frisking techniques, and so on. If you were going to be a tattoo artist, I'd recommend you learn all you could about your gun, how to take it apart, put it back together, clean it, tweak it, how and why it works, and of course shading techniques, the aging effects of inks, bleeding control techniques, and everything. You'll never hurt yourself by learning everything you can about the tools you use, and if you use them seriously, you'll excel. Even if you postwork the images.
