Hi Stacey! Yes! Yes! Will do it right now! I was about to give up hope! Thank you!

Shelly

Yes!! Thank you Swamp! That's the info I had read and couldn't find. I know it sounds like its not a big deal, but if you're like me and like to cycle through dozens of poses till you find one that you like, it's a pain because sometimes its like i accumulate a mess and restoring the element doesn't work at all, does nada...

Thanks Casette, but its not my A3, I did carry the topic over to Daz and there are many people that have the same issue. There is one man that doesn't have the issue. He said his runtime is in the default location. It might not be a factor, but my runtime was not in the default location, so.... I am going to try to put it where it belongs (this was a good reason to get it done, because I got a new computer) and just satisfy my curiousity about whether that fixes it.

My Noa doll does this too. Sarsa and Thorne, if you read this... I adore your products, but I would really love it if they didn't do this to me, haha! (it isn't all of them, Sylfie works fine)

I have the full version of Aiko that I bought the first day she was released. You're very right, I should have posted this in Daz's forums. I'll run and do that. Thanks so much :)

PS Reinstalling the SR3 update didn't fix the problem

Yes, at least I think... I did get a new computer a couple of weeks ago so I won't swear that I didin't install the update. I will go get it and try again. However, it seems to me that I had this happening even when I was sure I had the update installed.

Thanks Gareee, I do know there were others having the problem and it had something to do with the way a character package was made and involved changing the CR2 or something like to fix it (something causing the eyes not to pose with the figure). I have searched for the last couple of weeks trying to remember where I read the post. I should have printed it and didn't, then I put Poser down for a while.

It happens with any package I use.

Lemme see if I can attach a pic of the malfunction and hopefully jog someone's memory.

Thank you Wayne! I will definitely try this. I'm a day or so away from finally finishing another image, so I have a guinea pig! Your advice is well timed and much appreciated!

Have a great day!

Hi Suzanne, thanks again for trying to help me. I didn't have a prior upload to save over. I tried what you suggested before I uploaded the image here for the first time and pasted it into a new document but that didn't work either. I think I'm going to have to do some serious reading on color management. I think that's where the problem is. Thanks so much for trying to help.

Have a great day!

Well, we're not quite there yet after all, haha! I uploaded the image to my ArtZone gallery first and it's still dark on upload. It wasn't in the comparison screen before I saved it. It looked good. I'll bet I messed with something ELSE trying to fix it that should have been left alone. I'm off to see if I can remember what I clicked rolls my eyes.  If anyone has a quick and dirty couple of buttons I need to check I'd be grateful!

I want to get this one right because I painted the CUTEST little outfit with Chevybabe's new tutorial and I'm sooooooo proud of myself and I just need to have it look right. :) It's also on one of Prog's very red backgrounds so it's darkening up way too much.

Thanks again!
Shelly

Woooo Hooooo! You're a life saver!! That did it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! BTW, that little arrow is a sneaky one, LOL!!

Have a great day!

Hi Nio, it's the only one I have so far other than the one that comes with the Intuos (which you will LOVE by the way) I am totally amazed by the art pen. What it really does is eliminate the need to go in and change your brush direction. In my opinion, it's a HUGE time saver just if you like to work with brushes along borders. There's also an airbrush the simulates realistic airbrush. You tilt it to elongate and feather out a spray pattern and roll your finger on a wheel to adjust spray intensity. It also says you put pressure on the tip to control the brush size. There's also an inking pen that lets you capture your drawings on paper as well as on your computer. Now that one sounds fun! I can tell you though, I think I'll want them all after playing with my art pen. Hubby has some great ideas for me for surprises... Since I only own the art pen, I can't tell you it's the best one, but I wouldn't want to be without it, now that I have it.

It sure is working now Rylan, thank you!! Mine is back to normal. I'm glad I didn't get to hubby first, I was sure he messed with the router again! hehe

Thanks Ziggie, that helps actually... I'm betting hubby did something to the router! :) I think you're all right about connecting via the web anyway. Especially since we see that it's quirky. So, I think I'll not worry about fixing it and visit via IE. Thanks again!

Okay, thank you both! I must have done something silly to it! ;)
