Is there any way to convert Poser 3 textures for use with Poser 4?

Thanks for responding. Could you elaborate a little, is PS Photo Shop? I thought the textures did'nt work because of different mapping.

Here's a method I had considered but have not atttempted yet. More complicated than the cloning method but once done by one of us, could be reused by all of us on any texture. Perhaps someone will give it a shot. Here's the idea: Design a Poser scene using a P3 figure and the P4 UV template as a background image. Reduce the Z-axis of the P3 figures body to 0 (or whatever the minimum is)& max out the camera's focal length to make the texture effectively 2D. Place one light front-dead-center. Align the P3 figure, with the texture you want to convert, on top of the background image of the appropriate body part. Render & Paste into background Save as keyframe in animation timeline & move to next frame. Repeat on next body part on map, hiding unnecessary body parts when aligning. When all parts are positioned save the .PZ3 & post it so I can download it. Whaddya think?
