Same problem I've had (after 6 months of heavy Poser use) I would love to have renders I can minimize and call back up for comparison. Only thing I can suggest is paste your original onto the background, then do a render of it (in a new window) and keep it on one side. Not great I'm afraid. If anyone else knows something better, let me know too! And PLEASE Curious Labs....Poser 5 with some way round this! maclean
