Ever since I got poser, when saving in the library it has made a solid square with the background color on it. Basically a thumbnail of whatever was displayed at the time. Today it started saving with the background transparent, like the figures that came with poser. What did I change?

I guess you've changed your video settings from 24 bits to 32 bits ;-)

other way around, Dagon. 32 to 24. :) -X

Yes, it saves the background color automatically in 32 bit mode Nerd. If you want to be in 24 bit I use the paint bucket to color the background (sample from a NON-HIGHLIGHTED library thumb and fill. It should work then. It does for me. BubbaScuba

Wait this is getting confusing... 32 Bit graphics mode on a PC produces the transparent background on the thunbnail. Anything lower than 32 Bit will include the color. Hope it's straight now, you Mac folks are on your own ;-) -JH.

Doesn't Poser use an internal color model like everything else? I wasn't aware that any program could be effected internally like this when your system color setting was changed. I mean if you set the program or file to 32-bit I could understand. But the SYSTEM display settings? Programs are supposed to be independant of windows settings. I guess that's what happens when you port a program from a Mac...eeewww... Mac's do everything wierd.

Excuse me, for creating even more confusion! But, i have 3 systems with 3 different videocards, and it's different for each one?! Anyhow, Nerd! I take the guess work out of this completely: 1- Render your item(Nice'n easy) 2- Export image 3- reimport it as background image 4- move item out of the CAM's way 5- save item in library. makes for some nice & easily itentifiable stuff in my libraries... Very useful for those items(namely Hair & clothes) with transparency.. Marc

Poser dislikes my ATI video card, it won't run at all unless I'm in 32 Bit :-( No matter, 32 Bit looks great for graphics applications.

And just what page of the manual is this little secret on ;-). I guess that's why we're here.

I learned that the first day I got Poser3, the hard way ;-) -JH.
