Most are used to make images of vacant, expressionless poses of a character named Vicky 3, standing naked in a temple with a sword in her hand. Also expressionless images of Fairies, often naked. Fae, if that is something diffent than fairies (never heard of this stupid word until I started to use Poser). D&D inspired, lame Poses with magical (Fairy like?) balls of light flying out of characters' orifices. Dragons up the Kazoo. Kazoo is sold in a seperate expansion pack for Poser figures. Otherwise they come Kazooless. Let me say just once, GIRL, Sara, LaRoo, and on and on adnaseum; often standing naked and expressionless in a temple with a sword. Can you say Kute. You know whom I'm talking about and you can also say Krap! (Just kidding. Please don't hurt me). Basically, if you can "imagine" it and then you have the skill and ability to really screw up what ought not be created in the first place, then you can use Poser to achieve just this kind of result. So buy the program and get started immediately.

Look foward to your tutorial. My prefence is ".pdf" Nice and neat. thanks

P5 lets you export an image as a ".PSD" This is the native PS format and it contains the alpha channel.

If you are using P5 and the product has JCM's in its cr2 file then here is a fix: http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=7101 this fix can be applied to any conforming clothes' cr2 file not just the GIRL's catsuit that this topic is talking about.

Excellent tip.

Please, I don't have a clue about fixing CR2's. Also, I'm using Word Pad. Does anyone have a working, fixed cr2 that they can share? thanks

Maybe a dark foggy backgroud with the suggestion of zombies with red eyes trying to reach into the room to touch Sara.

Marque,

Hopefully this will answer your question.
I'm using PS 7

1. Create your new brush.
2. Go to "Edit" then "Define New Brush"
3. Agree with or rename your brush
4. Click Okay
5. In the upper right hand corner of the Brush Pallete, click on the arrow and select "Save Brushes"
6. Rename them if you want and choose "Okay"

This will add the brush to the brush pallete you are currently using.

To get it in it's own pallete, I do something that is awkward.
Someone else might have the proper way of doing this. But what I do is first select a brush pallete that only has a brush or two. Then I follow steps 1-4.
After this I delete the unnecessary brushes.

1. Simply "right click" on the unnecessary brush in the pallete and chose "delete brush."
2. Follow steps 5-6

You can rename brush palletes by:

1. Clicking on the "arrow" in the upper right corner in the "brush Pallete" and choosing from drop down menu "Rename Brushes"
2. The easy way is to just rename them as you save them.

hope this helps.

I'm not too sure what you are asking in your 2nd question but maybe this will help.

If I make a selection in a picture in PS what happens when I inverse the selection is that I choose everything except the item I chosed.
If you have nothing that is in the background, if you inverse the selection then you chose nothing.
If this is what you are doing and you want to select an item that is alone on it's seperate layer then do this in PS7:
1.Select that layer
2.Hold down the "Ctrl" button (PC) and with that button held down "left click" on the name of the layer in the "layer pallete"

That will select that object.
This may not be what you were asking but maybe it will help you in the future.

take care

Brent, Thank you so much!! That answered my question. I had doubleclicked and messed around with those checkmarks but didn't understand their purpose. Reading your response got me to understand what I was doing. I can now get the results I was looking for and the wording in the manual makes more sense. once again Thanks
