Paint Shop Pro 5 opens and saves png like a dream :) The other thing you may not know (or probably do s) is that you can use the native Photoshop file format '.psd' on your texture maps :) Poser loves 'em. When creating transmaps, I always save them as psd (yeap, in Paint Shop Pro LOL) so I can fiddle with layers as I'm viewing the work. It's way cool. s Xena
