How do I import Poser bump maps such as Michael's and Vickie's into Painter 3D to edit them along side of the texture maps?

the short answer is you cannot. but basically the bump map is a 8 bit b/w image of the original texture. so what i do is bring up the text i want to work with, change it's mode to grayscale ( I use photoshop5 ) and then adjust the bright and contrast till it looks the way i want it. ( the lighter the color the hight the elevation, the darker the lower) and then "Save as" XXXXXbump.jpg then in poser i'll load the xxxxxxbump.jpg , poser will ask to convert it and Vviola! it works pretty well.
