Poser 6 doesn't render in layers, but you don't need photoshop either. Imagine a typical scene. Background, midground, foreground. Create the background of your scene. No mid or foreground objects, figures etc. Save the camera postion and remember what light set you used. Render it as a .bmp. call it backdrop.bmp. If you only have a low spec Pc close poser and restart at each stage so the textures arn't lurking in the materials list. OK, make a new scene this will be the midground. Load your saved camera and import backdrop.bmp as the background image. Create the midground scene only no background or foreground objects. Save and render. Cal this image middrop.bmp Again new scene. The foreground. Again only foreground objects needed here. This time import middrop.bmp as the background image and render. See no layers or paint package required! The only time you'll need a paint package is to tidy up a layer - say removin minor poke-through. But if you really want to get creative, blurring each stage in PSP or photshop can give some fun results. Though don't overdo it or it looked cliched. Overall have fun!
