As a much belated response to @Cage's observation that PIL in Poser Python on macOS is borked, there is a way to correct that. Most unfortunately, due to the deprecation and shutdown of repository server support for the TLS1.0 protocols available to older Python 2.7 installations such as Poser uses, it's almost impossible to directly update PIL within Poser. It is possible, though, if your macOS is old enough to have shipped with Python 2.7 installed, to use pip to install Pillow, which is a drop-in replacement for PIL (the Python Image Libraries) that fixes the JPG export bug, and then bypass Poser's own PIL with the system Python 2.7 Pillow package.

Hopefully (though do not hold your breath) this could get fixed in Poser 11.3, though much more likely in Poser 12, even though that may leap into Python 3.x territory and unleash a whole new can of Kryptonite Worms (TM) on your friendly, neighbourhood snake-heads.?

Why not use wxPython? Can be mixed with PIL: https://wiki.wxpython.org/WorkingWithImages
