Oh, yeah - I forgot one thing. Remember that tex size is only about resolution - pixels x pixels. The file size in kB / MB is irrelevant. When you save a tex to jpg, bringing down the quality level doesn't help Poser at all - it's still the same size for Poser, as Poser 'translates' the texs back to full size internally - non-lossy tif/pict/bmp or whatever it uses. So save at a slightly lower resolution instead (choose 3000x3000 instead of 4000x4000, for instance) but save your jpg at the highest quality level. If HD space is a major issue, this might be a problem, otherwise always do it this way. In Photoshop I always save at 11 or 12 (12 is max). That's why it's really quite uninteresting to know the resolution of texs in the Marketplace, the quality level at save is almost more important as tex detail goes. Of course, ideally the tex is both high qual and high res, but then the files get huge. Oh, I also forgot -Mosca's solution is really the best one all round :o] And a padded cell. Actually, I suspect we all need padded cells here. :] FishNose
