I added tattoos to a texture in Photoshop 6.0 then saved it as a JPG. I loaded it onto a Michael 2.0 figure in poser and it GREYED OUT right away.. which meant that I couldn't use it. I couldnt bring it up for any other body parts cuz it was greyed out. I tried saving the same texture as a TIFF.. but it still didnt work. Anybody know what is going on here?

Are you sure you first had Michael selected? Then you are applying it as a texture correct? In the materials editor right?

hmmmm, check to make sure that it is indeed a .jpg, just to make sure, and maybe it could be the title of the .jpg, it might be to long....Sharen

I saved it in Photoshop as a JPG, I'll shorten the name and see if that works. It still shouldnt be greyed out though as if its not there... thats kinda weird

yes it is weird, but it could be the name is to long...Poser has a thing with names. Sharen

Check that you don't use 'progressive compression' when saving your Jpg file ... Poser don't like it ... PhEn.

You might also doublecheck and make sure you're saving it as an RGB file instead of CMYK.
Before they made me they broke the mold!
