Beginners' Tips for DAZ Studio Pt. 6: Postwork
I thought I was done with this series but a couple of people suggested I add an entry about postwork so here we are.

The former is the industry standard but GIMP is free and I'm cheap (Scottish heritage, boyo). So in this article I'll be using and referring to GIMP.
