Quote - So, tone mapping is just half of the fun, and if I want to use it, I have to apply reverse GC on all my textures and fixed color nodes, or the image will be overexposed :mad: . That will be much more complicated than the "GC" option PoserPro, that one was simple to use.

Well, TM HSV does only process the output render, but it is not the same as straight gamma correction. It corrects the image in a way that (somehow) approximates the anti-GC of incoming colours as well. That's what I meant when I said it's an approximation for full GC. In other words, if you are going to anti-GC incoming colours, then GC the output, and don't use TM HSV.  (This is my understanding of the long discussion thread, and the words from the master himself, on the subject).

Quote - I can still hope for real GC in a P8 service release.

I wouldn't waste any wishes! :O)
It will be in Poser Pro 2010.
