Thanks a lot for taking the trouble, BB. That should cover a lot of ground, and might solve a few other problems I've come across.

One thing I tried (unsuccessfully) to do recently was place 2 images on a blank page in this photo album.(It's an ERC-controlled album with 20 turning pages)

I have a base blank page texture (40/40/40 paper), and I was trying to find a way to place several photos on top of it. This is something that can be done in Daz Studio using LIE (the Layered Image Editor) and makes it easy for the user to fill a photo album with their own pics. I can scale and position pics on the page in Poser, but I'm getting a 'double-exposure' effect where the photos merge with the base page texture.

I'm one of the few PAs at DAZ who still makes a Poser version of every product, and if I can't get something to work in both DS and Poser, then I just don't include it. So I'm really trying hard to make the Poser versions do anything that can be done in DS. I know Poser is capable. It's me that lacks the know-how.

Off to check these threads.
