can anyone explain to me what the morphs are dependent on.i open posette, for example, move a few dials on the head then spawn morph target. i then spawn target 2, also on the head, and this dial alters different elements - whats the story?

Sounds like at least one of your other dials actually had a value set on it - either when you saved the Posette figure previously or when you spawned the morph. With figures like Victoria (or a modified Poser 4 figure) there can also be body morphs that invisibly set values for morphs on various body parts and might get included in a spawned morph (check the dial settings on Body). Also, the first spawned target dial should be set back to zero before spawning the second - unless you want to include its effect in the second. If so, then the first must be set to zero when you use the second, or you will double its effect. You should check all these dials and try again. Hope this helps.
