Well, it does work. Sort of.

I imported the actual object file as a wavefront object.  Which gives you parameter dials to fiddle with.

I took the texture into paint shop pro only to find that it was a layer on layer that was much smaller than the actual .png file that opened.  I selected all to catch the actual texture layer and then cropped it down to size and resaved it as a .jpg file that was the size of the actual texture itself.

In the material room I created an image map node and connected the newly saved texture file.  Then did a draft render.  I don't have time, but there might be a way in the material room to adjust the placement of the candy texture so that it's more centred over the candy.

 

The texture loaded, but it didn't cover the whole candy portion.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
