Olias, go back in the archives to yesterday for thread "Scanning Tips 101 help please" for excellent help to get started. I posted some images there where I tried to take a scanned texture and apply it in both Poser and Bryce (I've done that before, but not something like this-it was TERRIBLE). I then posted one late last night of my very first try at using the templates. I'll look up that thread because I think it would be helpful to see it too. I tried Painter 3D when I first got Poser in July but haven't used it since. I did this in Paintshop Pro 5-lots of cutting, pasting, rotating, layers, resizing (slicing and dicing LOL) but it worked out pretty well. Also, I think someone pointed me to http://www.scantips.com where I came to grips with the pixel/size issue and that made me understand how I could use these textures and pictures with the templates. Ask questions here and I'm sure someone will point you in the right direction. This group has been amazingly helpful and supportive, so my recommendation would be to look at the URL on scanning, ask some questions and then try it on your own. Diane (the 'other')
