Ok lets go slowly. 1) I have no idea how to "fill in a bug report at DAZ". I have filled a bug report at Daz for this. Lets wait what Daz will answer. I will keep you informed about that. 2) So does this mean you CAN transfer the coloured dragon from Daz to Bryce? Yes easily with Bryce 5.5 Simply click on the Daz icon at the top and it will open Daz Studio. At soon as you are in Daz Studio load your dragon and try to alter your colour with the diffuse strength %. It will still have the colour but darker. I know this is not exactly what you want but it is the best I could find in Daz actually. When you have finished this you can transfer in Bryce by clicking on the Bryce icon that is in the right corner of Daz Studio. You will find the Bryce icon in Daz Studio only if it was open using Bryce!! When you are in Bryce again you should try to render your Dragon and if the results need some adjustments you can switch back to Daz Studio by clicking the Studio icon again and start the process again. If you do not have Bryce 5.5 tell my how you are doing it now. It will help for the answer. 3) I know how to use Brightness and Contrast with a photo I've taken but that's because I know where my photos are. You do not need to do mapping! In my previous answer (no 7) I have explained how to find the name of this picture file. To get the location in your computer you need to go to the start menu and use the find option. Type in the name of the file you have in the bar below the diffuse colour (2 in my previous answer) Hope this will help Jacques
