Has anyone else seen these types of thumbnails?

My friend who has a PC (I'm on a mac) has not seen this with the very same product.

Since no one has replied, I will take a stab :D

it si probably related to preview settings and transparancey.  Thumbs are normally generated from the preview.

Yes,   Poser uses Preview settings to generate the thumbnails.  Dont think it has anything to do with Library manager, It just displays the .png that is there.

Could you please post me a screen cap of what I should adjust.

However I have to say I doubt this is the answer to my problem, as I get the same appearance whether i use the poser library or advanced library manager from semidieu.

Exactly, it is not the library with a problem but the thumbnail.

Poser uses the preview settings to generate thumbnails, and the preview does not handle transparancey well.

You can fix this in render>settins>preview, enhance multi layer transparancy, but the trade off is slower preview.

The alternative is to do a ray tranced render at 91x91, and save as png to replace the current thumbnail.

In general this should only effect thumbs of objects with transparancy, most commonly hair.
