The Genuine Fractal plug-in for Photoshop can do this better thatn anything-but it's expensive and for the Mac only I believe. Printer ready is generally 300dpi, lo rez 144dpi and web use 72dpi, but you can resample the image in Photoshop and still do OK. If your stickers (MacTac) are printing with a docucolor printer you are not going to lose much image quality between 150 and 72dpi. Just don't compress the 72dpi file (some artifacting comes from compression and re-saving) your files.

Mosca-a Clear Policy: if the Fairy Felches it should be taboo. :) :) :) ANYBODY GOT A POSABLE SILLY STRAW?

P.S. -been visiting these poser sites since they started up, but this thread pretty much immortalizes Poser as far as I'm concerned.

Man! Creepy the Clown Without Shoes-is about as sick as sick is! My nightmares are about chainsaw wielding SHOELESS clowns-and if ProPack can't handle it-shit! will the world keep spinning?

In Max 4: Ambient Color, Diffuse Color, Specular Color and Specular Level and Bump

I'm available after 10pm Central-what should I wear? Max, LW, Rhino or Nendo? Yes, I said Nendo-that's what I started with in learning sub-division basics, and I still crank it up on Saturday mornings with a bowl of Lucky Charms in my mitt, the cartoons blasting...whatever the hell happened to Nendo?

Hah Hah, Congratulations Micheleh-I knew you'd be a natural for a Mod! But the really funny thing is, they put possibly the most level-headed individual on the site in charge of the "Off Topic" forum. This should be great! Now, if they'd just turn the whole show over to you... Congrats, again! februus

Very nice work, thanks Xurge!

The basic work shown in the after image can be achieved using several simple techniques. The tools you must master are: the layering option, the fade command and your airbrush. Take your original poser render and add a layer, use your lasso tool to select areas you want to brighten on your figure (example: look at the legs-following post work there is a whitish light flowing down the curves of the legs) Lasso inside the leg top to bottom, using a white pigment set your airbrush to 30-50% strength and lightly spray into the selected area-be as uniform as possible and don't over fill the area. Now select filter/ fade from your taskbar commands and slowly decrease the white pigment you just airbrushed in. As it fades you will have the same effect as the one you see-just keep practising this. The best results are when you learn to carefully select areas to hilight and learn to fade properly-the fade filter/effect/tool command combined with layers is the single most effective series of photoshop tools at your disposal. Remember to combine your layers. Then as pneal suggested above: use the curves command and add points at the top of the curves line segment and at the bottom of the line segment and move them to add weight and body to your skin tones. That's pretty much all you need to get the look you're after.

Hope Will has great success with his prints-he's a friendly chap with mucho talent. Very inspiring work-thanks for the notice!

great job!
