Thanks Medzinatar, was having trouble finding that. :-)

Maybe these screenshots will help. Here are two different renders, first one is darker one, second one I tried literally blasting the light's intensity aimed directly at the kid's face, still some grey there even at that.   To me it almost looks like the kid's hair color is "bleeding".

Also the render settings that I used for those area renders, which other than me moving the slider to the right are all default settings as far as I know, haven't changed them since installing poser.  Also I posted the gamma setting in the Texture Mgr window, which I'm guessing is the default as well.

btw, these are still renders, but I'll probably be rendering animations mostly when the time comes to render these characters.

I can't seem to post two or more images in the same post here, have to use a separate reply for each pic.

Thanks again, much appreciate the advice everyone. :-)
