I have tried compositing in Photoshop 6. I never got rid of the ugly outlines around the figures I brought in. I've seen quite a few images in the Poser gallery suffering from the same outline problem. Especially hair was a major problem. Even when I rendered to .tif or .psd with alpha information. Feathering a selection didn't work the way I wanted. The best I managed to do was rendering "back to front" in Poser; rendering a scene without foreground figures, using the render as a background image, then rendering the foreground figures over the background image. Works pretty well in a single pass, with more passes (needed when the scene is REALLY complicated) the quality of the background image deteriorates quickly. No, it's setting up in Poser and rendering in Vue for me.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
