Quote - If you want to Poser to process the colour correctly, then give it linear data.

But why should I care whether the colour is processed correctly?

If it appears correct, what has its actual correctness got to do with anything?

We have people using lights without shadows. How does that fit into correctness? It doesn't. It's an attempt to give the appearance of correctness.

We have figures with gross anatomical flaws and faulty joints. We have skins and flesh that doesn't react to surface collision with other objects. We have muscles that don't flex when we change figure poses. Spines with 2 joints. And let's not even talk about hair.

None of those things is even close to correct. Wherefore the obsession with this one other thing?
