How does a person use PSD layers on/in Poser? I have read so much about using PSD layers on poser or in poser that I would like to know how this is done? Are there any tutorials in regards to this and if so could you let me know where

I don't think you can use PSD "in" Poser.  I know you can use the rendered image in PS and build layers on that.  If there's away to do it "in" Poser I'd like to knw that too s

I believe you have to take everything into  your image editing program..PS or PSP or whatever you use...and work with them there..the poser image and the PSD files.

Ther are no Layers in Daz or Poser.
You can use an image as a background but it is not a layer.

Lighthorse...
Daz did come out with a new plugin that allows layers in the new 1.8 . 
Here is what they say on the site:

The Layered Image Editor allows you to create, open, edit, and save DAZ Studio Layered Image sets (.dsi). A DAZ Layered Image is a composite of image layers into a single Studio material file that can then be applied to an object's material zone in DAZ Studio via the Surfaces tab. DAZ Layered Images can be composed of any image file format supported in DAZ Studio (i.e., TIFF, PNG, JPEG, etc.). In addition, DAZ Layered Images can contain other DAZ Layered Images as part of its composition. The images composing the layers are not modified as the DAZ Layered Image file contains the pathname to the files and the opacity and blending information

The DAZ Layered Image format provides a way of combining images without modifying the original images. For example, a tattoo could be available as an option on a figure. Usually, this might require separate texture maps for each skin color plus an extra set of maps with the tattoo. Using the Layered Image Editor, a DAZ Layered Image file could be built layering the tattoo over the skin maps and the resulting .dsi file added to the material file to load via a MAT pose file. The original skin map can then be applied to the figure without the tattoo or with it, all without having to create two texture maps.*

I saw that plugin, it seems kinda cool but I'm sure you'll still need PS for certain things.

Maybe..some people will  :D
I use PSP 9 and don't even own photo shop.

I have been thinking about getting the layered image editor plugin.  From what I understand it will be built into v2 of DS...except for the ability to make the layers.  If you don't have the plugin you can use the built in version  for layers that other ppl make and sell or give away.

Very interesting !!!!  :sneaky:
