Vista or Windows 7 prevent you to "write" where you want .

All saves from almost all programs go onto a "users", app data, then sometimes, local, roaming, or other, and there is a Virtual Store with all your files from your different Apps. it is an Operating system thing.

Takes some getting used to, just pay atention as there could be a problem for some.
Open a texture in Photoshop. Change it and save it back into Alyson's folder. (That is what you see). In real world, photoshop saved it to the Virtual store.)
Open Poser, attach the new texture to Alyson in the material room, (it is visual in the normal texture folder), and render. No problem, all is well.

But when you render in a separate process; the texture will NOT render.
For FFrender.exe does not have the same "rights" as Poser.exe does..
For FFRender.exe to render the changed texture, you will manualy have to copy it back with a file manager.
Only those that use FFRender will see this happening ( those who render in a separate process)
Hope this helps.
