Wow! I just ran out to get a bite to eat, & when I came back I found all this wonderful help. Thanks so much! I have Poser5, but as yet haven't tried any Python action yet, though I know I'll delve into it eventually. Perhaps now's the time. Also, yes I have made extensive use of the ol' clone tool and scanned known colors/textures...but it takes sooo long. I just hoped someone might know a more efficient way...maybe "by the numbers". You all have been extremely helpful with this . Thanks again!
