Quote - So I take it you can export a large jpg render (3 or 4 characters, 1200x1000 or so) from P7 and it ends up being more then 60-70kb?

Never export a render as jpg from Poser, any version! The compression method is bad. Export your render as tif, psd, png, or bmp, then take your render into Photoshop and save it as jpg using "Save to Web". If you don't have Photoshop, use whatever paint program you have and save as jpg from it. You'll get much better results and it will be free of artifacts unless you save it at very low quality.

I've ordered P7 and will keep P6 on my system for quite a while. When I upgraded from P5 to P6, I kept p5 for over a year before removing it, to use as a backup in case I ran into problems with P6. When I upgraded SR3 had been released so I don't think I ever had to fall back onto P5 but it felt secure to have it there just in case.

It's all fun and games...
