*"Moles may have form, but I believe freckles are actually integrated in the flat skin (though they may have differences on the level of pores and in their specularity."

That's what I mean. A mole, yes you may want some form but if you make a displacement/bump maps with freckles your going to get very bumpy or very potmarked skin.

"Isn't it great to work on that fine level with the certain knowledge that most Poser users will obliterate it by using texture filtering?"

The problem with that is eF staff were telling everyone for awhile that it was better to use it. LOL Also many P7 users don't know that it is set to quality for default. Also so many users are click it and post it and don't learn some of the basic settings.
