Quote - Wait, you said you can see snippets of the image?

Could you show a screen cap?

Hi:
Thank you both for the reply.
Yes, "show background" was checked but what is a screen cap?
By the way, the snippets that I referred to were or are as follows:
When a background photo is imported into a scene containing a single character and "show background" is checked, a vertical grid appears when the cursor hovers near the character.  The grid, however, is reversed so that the entire display, except for the character, is covered by gray squares where "snippets" of the background photo can be seen in the thin grid lines that separate the gray squares.  In essence, it appears as if the photo is being viewed from behind Poser's background which by default is assigned as gray.   I hope that my explanation is clear.

Thank you in advance once again.

Thank you all.  Turning off texture filtering  as described in a prior post has resolved the render detail issue.

Well, you were correct! 

IBL Ambient occlusion was enabled and turning it off seems to have resolved the under-eye artefact issue.
Thanks again.

Hello:
Thank you, Acadia, for the links.
As for ambient occlusion, I believe that it is turned off but I will surely look into it.  At this very moment, I am on a PC, whereas, Poser 7 and all other associated software are on my Mac.  I will, however, post a jpg image depicting the described artefacts.
Thank you.

Hello Surgeon3d:

I have recently begun to employ IBL in Poser 7 (8 core Intel/Mac) and have encountered the same apparent under eye artefact that you described.  I must add, that turning off "shadow" does not seem to rectify the problem and I wonder if you have found a solution?

Thank you in advance.

Hi:

If what you are looking for is a device to alter the character of your voice into almost anything conceiveable, including male to female and the opposite, then take a look at TC Helicon's VoicePro ... it does it all and quite convincingly.

Hello: I would have deleted this post but. infortunately, I waited too long! I managed to answer my own question ... scrubbing simply involves dragging the timeline cursor inside of the waveform graph palate. Works just just fine and certainly good enough to make most of the necessary adjustments for lipsynch. Now, if only the character morph injections contained all of the necessary phonemes!

Hello Dale:

Thank you for your suggestion vis-a-vis Mimic, but I was not aware of its Mac-Intel compatibility (i.e. Universal Binary Format).

Thank you for your input vis-a-vis synchronization.

Hello Operaguy:

Thank you for your reply. 
It is understood that the audio will be  generated external to  Poser and subsequently imported in .wav format.  My concern, however, was the potential for loss of synch and I gather from your reply that some degree of realignment may be required.  I too have the latest version of Final Effects but since it requires a back and forth maneuver in regards to Final Cut, I will most likely use either Shake 4.1 or Boris Red 4.1, which resides within Final Cut as a plugin.

While we are on the topic of lipsynch, are you aware of any other software, for the Mac-Intel environment, that will provide for more accurate and realistic lipsynch of Poser produced characters either from within Poser 7 or external to Poser in other software, such as Maya 8.5 which I use, from time to time, as well.

Thanks again for your assistance.
Ron

Hello Operaguy:

After logging out and considering your suggestion, I have generated yet two other questions.

1.  If the animation incorporates the use of Talk Designer for lip synched audio, how is the audio handled when one exports as animated frames, i.e., is the audio exported to a separate layer or track, or is it embeded within the individual frames?

2.  I assume that the file containing the Poser exported  tiff frames can be imported into, for example, Final Cut Pro, and assembled and edited as needed?

Thank you in advance,
Ron
