Quote - Also, you can gamma correct things in Photoshop or similar ap anyway. Gamma Correction is for real "Render Purists", those people who demand that the naked-bare-bones-meat of their render engine do all the art work for them. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. Just keep in mind that Photoshop can correct colors in a few seconds compared to waiting for Poser's render engine to do it.

Gamma correction in post doesn't work nearly as well (for me) as in render. And it doesn't add any time to rendering (unlike IDL.) The problem with doing it in postwork is that you lose details in the shadows if you render without it, and no amount of post-work will recover them. I've found that, since I started using GC, I can spend a lot less time futzing with lighting. 90% of my outdoor renders use a single IBL and a single infinite light.
