Gotcha. I apologise. I misunderstood what you were on about. It sounded like I should be setting all maps (colour and non) to 1 - and this was the first I'd heard about it.

No question; gamma correction is poorly understood. Lots of people prefer - and insist that this is the right thing to do! - to just disable it. They obviously hadn't read your thread(s) on the topic, and if they did, either didn't understand it or dismissed it as either "too-hard" or "doesn't fit my workflow: I've done okay without it so why change now". Which is like saying: "oh, I'll upgrade to the new version of Poser but since I don't understand the new features I'll just go ahead and disable the lot". Bloody hell - makes no sense at all: why bother getting PP in the first place? For the Collada support? 64-bit rendering?

But I do try to stay up on information you bring to the forum, following every new thread you post in, so imagine my frustration at this post (one that I totally misinterpreted / misunderstood).

I do have my own workflow. My use of matmatic would make you cringe. But it's an incredible tool (one you should be charging for!) and as you know, everyone does weird stuff with the tools they are given. matmatic is brilliant at automation. It's brilliant at a bunch of other stuff too, but that's the bit I get.
