Quote - A painting room: Take a look at the size of the code on Gimp or Photoshop. That is what you are asking to be added  into Poser. That's an awful lot of overhead to drag around for functionality that will be used only a tiny percentage of the time. Gimp (The Graphic Image Manipulation Program) is available free and gives you plenty of paint tools to modify your maps.

I'd simply like a painting room to be able to mask and blend existing materials, as we are also discussing in another thread.  In your example, you would select two existing skin materials, one with tattoos and one without, and simply use the paint to tool to control which material was applied where.  This can be done to an extent already with the existing material room, but the primary map that controls distribution of materials can't be painted in Poser.  That would be a minimal, but useful, implementation of paint within Poser that would not require a full blown image editor be wedged in.
