I'm not sure what I first said made sense so I'm rephrasing it. I agree that uv mapper is a great program but I am not sure that one has a need for it when you're just starting out. What I was trying to say is most objects made for Poser already have uv maps made that you can paint textures onto. You'd need uv mapper to create a map for a new object or to remap an old one. I would maybe go with the lite version until you find you need more.
