I'm not sure Poser actually keeps the full image in RAM. Last nite I had a Poser file open, went into Photopaint to alter the jpg for the skin texture, and went back into Poser & immediately re-rendered, just to see what would happen. The changes showed in the render though they hadn't in the pre-render "textured" view. It would seem to me that if Poser already had the image in memory, the changes to the file on the hard drive would not have shown in the render. Can any Poser "experts" throw a little light on this? I'm curious about just how Poser actually handles those texture items too.
