That's when I started with PSP as well, though not long after, PSP 6 came out.

Corel usually gives existing users the opportunity to buy upgrades before they are launched at a heavily discounted price. They also do bundles such as the one described by Ken1171 which are hard to resist if you can make use of more than one of the titles. Even the standard titles usually come with additional plugins and, although they are often cut down versions, they can prove very useful. I also picked up ParticleShop at a heavily reduced price and have since added extra brushes, again while on sale, which make it a great tool for post work. I have added rain, snow, fog, hair and many lighting effects using Particleshop and it is often much easier to do this post work than using Poser. If you work on a duplicate layer you can add effects and play with the opacity and other attributes and if it does all go wrong you can just delete the layer which is usually quicker than re-rendering in Poser.

Long time ago and it has come a long way but it was good and value for money even then.
Yup, I have used PSP since the times of JASC as well, and still do. My only complain is that the non-destructive adjustment layers I love and use so much are poorly coded, and are prone to crashes and file corruption. Many times I have saved project files in PSP, and later couldn't load them back because of this. It saves files it cannot open back later. I have been reporting this to Corel for YEARS, and they have never fixed it.
Another issue I have with PSP is that we cannot edit text without highlighting it first. That changes the background color, so I can't tell if I am getting the right colors. In Adobe programs we can select the text box, not the text itself, so it doesn't interfere with colors. Besides that, I am a big fan. It does everything I need.

I have never heard of Humble Bundle. I was just checking it out and that deal is still going, but it seems too good to be true. I was brought up to be weary of things that seem too good. Have you dealt with them a lot? I would love to jump on the deal, but don't want to be hasty. I have 3 days to ponder it.
I have been buying wonderful deals from Humble Bundle for YEARS. Go for it - it's the real deal.

So some more testing, This time the scene is 'Dreary Room' by TruForm and I have changed the woodwork for a darker looking wood than default and also changed the material on the door handle. Dress is 'La Sera Dynamic Dress for V4 and Dawn' by Frequency and I have used one of the default materials. Choker is 'Rose Raven Jewels V4' by Rhiannon but the material just do not work in Superfly (why should they) so that has been played with as well.
Hey that sounds like a great idea! A blender node can smoothly switch from one texture to another by animating the blending channel. I will try that right away, thanks for the tip!
Thanks to a hint from @raven, I have animated the texture transition between Dawn and Dusk. Much smoother transition now. While doing this, I have realized we cannot just copy and paste the animated materials between the multiple body parts where Dawn and Dusk share the same textures. The pasted materials loose the keyframes. I am not sure if this is a bug or if it has always been like this. Good that Dawn 2.0 won't have repeated textures over multiple parts.
I didn't render this - it's just plain OpenGL preview mode.

I was playing around with intermixing Dawn and Dusk morphs a few days ago. Primarily to get some fine tuning morphs over to Dusk (hip/waist/thighs) and found that the morphs work quite well.
Here's a low quality SuperFly render of Dawn with the Ruckus For Dusk character injected. I copied the Ruckus morphs to the bikini using Poser's Copy Morphs From... menu item. Very happy with the results.
