Ahahha.. funny you mention that, Jackson. The other day I spent an hour searching my basement for my Painter book (note: also a former Metacreations product) and finally emerged victorious. I got upstairs and happened to click on the help menu and discovered, to my amusement, that the entire manual in PDF format, pictures and everything, was right there. I felt like an idiot. ;) After two years, I had never bothered to click on anything in the Help menu. ;) I think a Poser book aimed at intermediate users would do well. A bit beyond "here's how to create a new document" but not as far as "use Deep Paint to create photorealstic textures with an ultra digital camera."
