You can save an image without saving a pz3, after rendering, from the File menu select Export then Image. The real problem though is that you do not seem able to reopen a pz3 after saving it. I'll asume that you are usuing Windows 98 SE. First in Windows Explorer from the View menu (might be in the Tools menu in other versions) select Folder Options > View, un-tick 'Hide file extentions for known types' this will alow you to see what file types you are working with. Now we will go through a simple drill to test what happens, please follow thest steps exactly. 1. Open Poser. 2. From the Prop Types pallet load a Poser Box prop. 3. From the menu bar File menu select Save. Navigate to the 'My Documents' folder, name the file "Test1.pz3" and save it. 4. From the File menu select 'Close'. 5. From the File menu select 'Open', navigate to 'My Documents' and select the file 'Test1.pz3' and click the Open button. Your document with the box prop should now be open in Poser, if it is not then we need to move on to the next step which will be examining the 'Test1.pz3' file to see if it is corrupt. But first follow the steps above and let me know the results.
