Corel PP8 has most of the same tools as PSP or PS, only the names for the tools are different. The Skulls were rendered in groups of ten or so in poser4 .tif format. Inside CPP8 you open the .tif and load mask from channel and cut. Paste as a new object to your main image from the edit menu. The objects are layers and can be resized, rotated, etc.. Once I got all the skulls into the scene I arranged and grouped them. The figure is a layer/object also, as well as the smoke. Is this the kind of thing you wanted to know? -JH.
