I use picturenaut almost dayly!
It is very useful.

What I mean rendering in layers, is via the Python script, which renders the same image, but on a light per light basis, with the option of also rendering an occlusion layer, as well as a diffuse layer.

If you then compose the layers in, say Photoshop, and adjust the exposure per light, you can get much more control tweaking the image to perfection than just a "general" exposure.

For example, the backlight is just perfect, but the main light is too "hot". Adjusting exposure for the whole image would be very time consuming, and you probably wouldn´t get the desired result without re-rendering. But if you rendered each light in separate layers, you would just underexpose the main light, and leave the back light untouched.
I think that in fact, PoserPro not rendering like Poser6 or 7 IS A FEATURE!!! I have wanted Poser to have this since I started working with Poser.

still hooked to real life and enjoying the siesta!
