Sorry guys, but this is not an issue about taking time to learn it, and I never expect a "Make Art" button with any app I use.
There are features in the standalone version of FaceShop4 that just do not reliably work and that cause instability and crashes on a predictable level.
For example, I've never been able to save a file from FS that isn't corrupt and unopenable, whatever figures I'm using.
The mirror function doesn't really work, often creating (when it does work) horribly distorted morphs (and yes, I know it's recommended to dial the resulting morphs at 0.7 - makes no difference, a bad morph is a bad morph).
The texture output (when you get an output) is poor and requires significant reworking to be usable.
Morph export (via export of obj. mesh) is extremely unreliable.
Moving between various options in FS (e.g. positioning points and curves in frontal view and then moving to the profile view & vice-versa) causes corruption of the file and usually crashing.
I'll re-iterate - this is in the standalone version of FS, used in conjunction with Poser 7.
I feel (and I reported such as a user review and as a complaint to Renderosity Marketplace) that this software should not have passed through any kind of testing and certainly shouldn't continue to be sold here - just my opinion.
If the Daz integrated version works ok that's fine, but the standalone version for use with other apps is a complete waste of time IMO, and fails to meet with the marketing claims on the marketplace page.
Anyway, TPTB seem to disagree with my view as it's still sold here. Maybe I am just crazy and wrong.
