That would certainly help. Again, take lots of close up photographs to capture as much detail, and arrange your lighting in your studio to minimize shadows. You'll have to use a graphics app like Photoshop to adjust the contrast and to essentially assemble a mosaic of the photographs over the facial template and make them fit over each feature, i.e. lips, nose, etc. Paul Hafeli, I believe, has the best photorealistic textures around, and you can take a look at his work to see what I mean (also at BBay, where he sells some of them). You probably should be using texture maps at least 1400x1400 or higher if you want to capture the most detail in your Poser figure, but that may be limited by the amount of RAM available in your computer. Others here have said that tiff files are far better than jpg files because they have less pixelation; the only problem is that they are huge and demand more RAM to load into your Poser figure. Good luck!
