Thanks everyone so much for the help! I appreciate it so much and already my experience with Poser was better (I stayed up until 5am!) Cres: I know I probably won't ever be able to make my own clothing but its good to have goals right? :) I have Maya and learning that will be a difficult task which there is no rush, since I'd rather master Poser first. I saved in .psd last night to see how much of a difference it would be from the .jpg and holy cow! Huge difference. And since I don't understand what you are saying about make-up yet, I just painted in on in Photoshop, which doesn't look that great, but better than nothing! I learned out to change breast size thanks to Dr Geep, but I still haven't figured out how to change nose size. Another new question I have is when I put clothes on my Poser characters (I don't have Vickie yet) weird holes appear. I know the FAQ mentions this but I'm not quite sure I understand how to fix this problem. If someone could explain it in super noob language I'd appreciate it :) Thanks everyone for the help you have no idea how much better I feel about all this! I mean yeah, I have a long way to go yet, but at least I feel its actually a possibilty that I will figure this stuff out! Kelly
