*I know what the problem is. 70-80% of  Poser users are just opening a document and using almost everytime the default settings. i understand this when you use poser for 1 month. but after 6 months or 12 months you should know enough that you need to gamma correct your renders.
if you have poser pro you have this in the render settings. if you have poser 7 then you should use bagginsbills skin shader that has GC inside. plus he already explained how to make a default GC shader. from there on you can do whatever you want to do.

*I'm using poser for 12 years and I never gamma-corrected my renders, and in every post I made no one told me that I had to gamma-correct it. I have poserpro but I didn't use the gamma correction, because pro messed up the bump, transparancy and displacement maps, which shouldn't be gamma corrected. Until now I had my monitor-settings on 9200K because I found the sRGB settings much too low: not only with my poser renders, but with everytihing: WIndows, internet explorer, autocad, you call it.
But perhaps the fact that I'm getting a little older (51) my eyes are degrading and as a CAD-draftsman I have not much experience with working with photoshop or paintshop. Perhaps I have too work more with that.
I changed my monitor settings to sRGB and I will see if I can get used to it. Perhaps it will improve my renders.

best regards,

Bopper.
