Mike: I dont have poser 5 but i do understand a bit about texturing. First important thing about texturing is shadows are not our friends. The more even lighting you can get the better and easyer it is to make a texture. Also when you photograh, your after texture not a whole straight on face shot. You can still go in and fix what you have by cloneing out the shadows. It looks like most of your problumns is shadows being pure bumps when you use the bump map. See all the white on your bump map ? Poser is going to crank them into mountains . The one under the nose bugs me the most. It means every time you render your going to have to try and match the lighting to that big shadow.
