I am trying to put rendered 3d poser images into photoshop 7 but I can't open them I spend 4 hours on one and when I rendered it I wanted to do some postwork in photoshop7 and lost it it won't let me open it in photoshop How or what am I doing wrong.

I don't own, nor have I ever used any poser software, but in any of the 3D rendering software that I do use, I always save my final rendered image as a .bmp file. That way I know that I can always load it into PhotoShop without any problems. I don't know if this will help you or not, but I'm sure someone with poser software will give you a more accurate answer. Good luck . . . Mark.

render and save as a tif with or without an alpha channel. If it doesnt work, one of the two programs is messed up. reinstall and try again.

Thanks for your help

If i can remember correctly (it's been a little while) you have to either export it or use the "save as" method and save it as an extension that photoshop can read.

This is a One Step at a time Guide to help you out Eric :)
In Poser:
Click File
Click Export
Click Image
(a Save As Window will open)

In the Save As Box:
Find the folder you wish your image file to be saved to

In the File Name Box
enter a name for your file

In the "Save As Type Box":
scroll down and click on
Tiff (.*TIF)

As a safety feature, Before you close out Poser,
Save your Poser .pz3 file

Do that by clicking on File
Click Save As
(a Save Document As Window will open)
name your file and click save.

That way you can always come back to the Poser file later if you need to make changes.

Once you have saved your .pz3 file,
Close Poser and Open Photoshop

Open the file as you would any Image file.
Ta Da.
You should be all set :)
