Hi The reason the cr2 does not work after editing in BBEdit is because Poser does not recognise the BBEdit file as a cr2. You need to change the resource file/creator types aswell to PZ3A and cr2T respectively using an applescript (as found here) just drag and drop after editing in BBEdit. Or by using ResEdit to change the resource. Or by creating an applescript that opens BBEdit, tells it to edit various lines and then commands finder to adjust the resource afterwards. Poser will recognise an obj file edited in BBEdit. Also view as any file in BBEdit as stated by Jim. Always make a copy first. earnest
