Poser is a tool. Take a look in your tool box, how many types of screwdrvers do you have there. Poser is the same. I use it to build my scene's, then quite often import into Bryce or Shade, depending on the look I want. Then there is the post work after in your favorite paint program. I use PSP and Gimp. As in your tool box, one tool by itself can't do the work as well as all the tools used together. Well, that's how I see it. It's not less using Poser as much as more using other software with Poser.
