Nice lighting... I've got a copy of her too, and boy if his ex-girlfriend ever found out... (laugh) Seriously though, the elbow problems are caused by the mesh "tearing apart", as it were... the elbow bend is too tight for Poser to handle. Some models are more friendly to bending than others, so your mileage may vary per character... depends on how many polygons the body mesh has to spare, really. Sometimes, I find that bending other body parts helps a little (esp. at the hips, where a tight bend causes the buttocks to 'fragment'..bending the abdomen and thighs hels out there a little.) However, you're kind of stuck as per knees and elbows. The only way I've ever gotten around the problem is to do one of two things: 1) lots of close-up post-work with the smudge tool in the GIMP (or photoshop, whichever) 2) import the whole thing into Bryce/3DS Max, etc, and see if you can't fix it there. Otherwise, I'd love to see how others have gotten around this too... /P
