Here's a handy tip.

For lighting experiments, I often like to clone a light, turn off the original and then manipulate the clone. I can then easily switch which is on and do comparison renders.

In Poser 7 this is easy. Select a light. Use menu Edit/Duplicate. You now have another just like it.

I do this a lot for spot lights, too. I make one at a low intensity, with all the blur and everything just how I like. Then I clone it and move the clone slightly. I clone again and move the clone slightly.

It's a very fast way to get an array of 5 to 10 spotlights. Very useful for doing stage lighting, for example.

Believe it or not, I have almost no "light sets" in my library. Because I have become very skilled at creating custom lighting in less than a minute, I almost always make my lights from scratch for each situation.
