Thanks to everyone, I'm new to Poser so I have lots to learn. I started out with Poser 6 and now using Poser 2012.

Hi, you need a larger hard drive minimum 500GB up to 1 or 2 TB depends on the number of programs you are running, so Windows can create the page files  it needs for the programs to run smoothly.

This is the main point of this thread, to emphasis the matter of the type of comments given on the pictures in the gallery. A person should be able to offer positive feedback without getting backlashed or "flamed" for their opinions about the pictures.

Yep, Winnipeg MB can have quite the weather, down to a balmy -55C in January, so cold you can see your words floating in the air when saying "good morning" to a fellow winnipegger and limitless snowfall at times. Here in Edmonton, we had almost 60cm of snow which hit a record. Some of that "Winnipeg" weather followed me here. But on the brighter side spring is on the way.  The bag of ice shipped here from Winnipeg is helping to ease my headache!! Cheers! Kevin.

I hope the above comments will have a positive impact and help the gallery to be what it should be. A place to share artistic creation and talent and to give and receive positive criticism on the art that is presented. A tip of the hat, to the seasoned artists out there and many lessons to be learned from them, as the new artists strive to achieve their artistic goals.

Well............ the   sssssittee                       seeeemms toooooo beeee  speeeedingg uuuuppp tooo normal. I hope they have the problem fixed sooo weeee dooonn'tt rrruunn iintoo tthhhiisssss aaaaagggainnn................. For everyone's benefit.  Kevin.

eyeland, in light of what is going on in this gallery, change would be good for the community overall.  I am not complaining, just stating my observations. Yes there is a lot of great art in the galleries, those artists have my respect.  It's  the insincerity of some people that repeatedly say the same comments on the pictures regardless of the quality etc. It does say critical and non-critical comments which I believe is the purpose of that section. I don't mean rude or arrogant and mean comments, but true criticism in an effort to help that person improve. That to me is what that section is for. I agree with your comment.  A more positive social interaction with honest comments in the equation would be beneficial to the artist.

 AnnieD:   Your comment is quite true, but what gets me is the obviously poor quality pictures that are being highly praised by the same group of people.  I've been told  by other artists on this site that there is always room for improvement, which is part of the learning process with the programs. There are many high quality pictures in this gallery and the other galleries which I admire.  I agree with Beelzebulb's statement art is in the eye of the beholder but, let's be realistic, there is a very obvious difference between good and bad. Not just anybody can sit down at a grand piano and play Chopin. Just like not everyone is an artist just because they use a graphics program. Your quote from Stuart Chase applies quite nicely to what I'm saying:) (Your pictures are very good!) My opinion:)
