Does anybody know how to turn off the bright red lines that poser insists on putting around whatever body part you're trying to manipulate in the posing window? They hurt my eyes and make it virtually impossible for me to fine-tune the expressions on a face. I asked this in another forum and the answer I got told me to go to some folder I could not find in my pc, so I hope there's some way to turn them off within poser.

I'm using poser 7 in windows xp.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

are you trying to manipulate the figure directly in the preview window ?  if you are try opening the parameters display and use the dials instead. I use Poser 7 and dont remember any bright red llines when I work.

Yes, they are quite annoying, aren't they ?

But you can't switch those red highlights off from within Poser.

You have to open the "poser.ini" file and set "HILITE_BODY_PART" from "1" to "0".

 

Not exactly sure where it is in XP, but it's usually in the hidden Roaming folder under AppData.

You first have to unhide system folder visibility to get access to it:

My PP-2014 Poser.ini for example is located here on my machine:

C:User/MyUserName/AppData/Roaming/PoserPro/10/Poser.ini

Thank you JoePublic. That appears to have done the trick, but I can't say for sure because there have been short periods of time when that red outline went away as I worked, then came back for no apparent reason. If this is successful it'll save a project that was fast becoming impossible. I'm not a young person and focusing my eyes close-up is not as easy as it once was.

Why do you think they would make an option so basic as using that highlight so difficult to turn off?

I'm sure there is - or was, in earlier versions - a much simpler way to do it.  Can't remember how but I disabled the red outline in Poser 6, pretty much as soon as I installed it.
