I was a Paint-Shop User before I was a Poser user. I saw Poser as a way to put people into my images, not the opposite. As originally conceived, Poser was a tool to provide a figure reference for traditional-media artists, sort of an 3D anatomy book with lights and moveable cameras. It is only since it gained popularity as a standalone tool that the features have been advanced to where it is today. Is there a "right way" to use Poser? No, not really. I agree wholeheartedly with Rutledge, "the final result is what counts". Poser is A tool, not the tool. Anyone who looks down on or condemns a fellow artist for doing postwork is merely inflicting his personal standards on him. In the grand scheme of things, I'd rather be called an "artist" than a "Poser artist". To categorize yourself is to limit yourself.
