So in the end it just comes down to skill and effort. A skilled Poser user who knows how to use lighting and textures can get a wonderful image straight out of the render engine. Good paintwork also requires skill. I've seen many, many images in the galleries with painted hair and clothes that do not match the lighting in the render, or are far more blurry than the rendered parts. Does it mean that Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro/whatever doesn't have the capabilities to create great images? Not at all. It just depends on skill and the amount of effort the artist pours into his/her work. And exactly the same goes for Poser. That said, the capabilities of the P5 and especially P6 render engine far exceed those of P4/PP. So it should not be surprising that a skilled P5/P6 user can get a quality out of Poser that was previously only possible for a very skilled Photoshop/PSP artist.

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