It all depends on Your computer. If it's a good machine, than i reccomend Poser5 (material room! really good shaders can be done there and thus less postwork is left to be done in order to, let's say, adjust the skin tone). As for me, I'm using Poser5 AND Photoshop. Sometimes 3d Studio Max for backgrounds. I don't do importing figures, as I like to re-pose them whenever I want and I cannot do that outside Poser. In the sample I've attached (a comic I'm working on apart from my regular story, WindWeaver), I've used Poser5 for setting and rendering, Photoshop for tone adjustments and composing the page. The ugly men on small panels are Poser5 face room figures... The girl is Steph petite (my morph) and the elf guy is Michael3 with bishonen morphs... After this shameless self-promotion...;)))) no, seriously, I hope it helps you with your decision, Radeon!
