I'm going to render a tiny animation as a series of png, tif and psd images. Then I'm going to save a few and export a few images. This is how I'm going to find out if the inverted alpha channel bug is at long last fixed. It's the most annoying thing about Poser and the Pro Pack to me.

I'm taking the manual to bed with me and at least skim it cover to cover before reading it thoroughly over a period of time to follow, I'll play with everything in the meantime.
