On the output side, one feature Poser8 lacks over pro is saving out to OpenEXR format, which then allows you to open the file in Photoshop in 32-bit editing mode. You can then effect not only gamma correction but subtlties of exposure into the color channels.

I always feel better having deep control in PS rather that in the render output itself, since obviously you have to render each time you tweak a setting in the render app whereas having the editing power of Photoshop on the color channel level to tweak instantly....well that is so much better.

Poser8 is good, but I won't get too thrilled until in possession of PoserPro2010 with OpenEXR format.
