It does, IF you set the gamma properly, and I believe this is even covered over at poserpro.net

New version, new things to learn, plain and simple.

After reading it, it's hard to teel if I'm seeing what you are actually seeing.. for instance, if you have a crt and are rendering on that, on a lcd monitor, that could look quite different.

When I got my lcd a few months back, all my prevous stuff looked quite bad in some cases.

My lcd is about 800 times brighter then my old crt monitor. I turned not only it's brightnes settings down, but then also even turned dwon the r/g/b settings as well, so it wasn;t so bright. And odds are, someone else with a new lcd is going to have thier turned up very bright compared with my settings.

Basically, they've just given us another "in app" tool to adjust things that we might have done in post with poser 7.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
