...yes, the images were extensively POST-WORKED in other software, and Poser Figure Artist was NOT USED to make these images. PFA does NOT contain a number of Poser 6 features- it's being marketed to NEWBIE Fine Artists...

...is this NOT Mis-Leading?...Since the PFA  video is directed at NEWBIE FINE ARTISTS who are NOT TECHIE Computer users?...You have to REMEMBER who this is DIRECTED AT...it's un-tech-sophisticated FINE ARTISTS...that's where they are PRIMARILY marketing this- Jerry's Art-o-Rama, etc... (That's what e-frontier SAYS...and why they use the "Woody" character)...

I have been involved in working with Fine Artists for over 20 years...and FRANKLY- they are like CHILDREN when it comes to using computers! They are
often SCREWED by Computer Stores to buy things they don't need or can never use properly... 
I can see this video being used as a SALE CLOSER to gullable Fine Artists who BELIEVE they getting in the software package that which is being BEING SHOWN on the Video!

Frankly I was even FOOLED in the beginning when I saw this presentation on e-frontier's website! I really DID THINK that they had ADDED all these "SHOWN FEATURES" into PFA! (...like Paint Filters, and INCLUDED Art Shaders by Olivier as part of the package...)

...I mean, COME ON, I STILL SEE a lot of people CONFUSED by Olivier's P6 Art Shaders- and HOW to use them- and these people have POSER 6! (Which has a Material Room...PFA DOESN'T)... None of this is "PUSH THE "MAKE ART" BUTTON" this video implies...
