Why is it, and how can I not have it happen, that sometimes when I Load Image for a face and then the face is applied to a character, I get this very noticeable and weird looking bump where the eyebrow bone is? Once the face is pasted on the character, I can't seem to altar or reshape or reduce that bump.
To get a visual of what I mean, take a look at the attached.

Are you seeing that bump in the image window before you save the face?
Are you selecting the G2 Female Character from the drop down menu of the Face Lists. (2nd window that comes up I think on the left. It defaults to Jack, and in testing just now, a female face using G2 Jack will tend to have a more prominent bump.
Also, have you checked the side edit at the top when setting up your face, where you can adjust the dots?
I have been taking more time checking the faces from all angles in the setup windows lately and as a result am getting much better results. Particularly the window with the blue outlines - it really does make a difference if a certain feature is really out of whack there, i.e. if the mouth fits but the eyes are way off or vice versa. I start over if that happens.

Alley is right. It's always best to check the side view even if you don't have a profile image to go there. Making small adjustments here can really improve the finished look.

Thank you.
Yep, playing with the dots on the eyebrow line did it.
I usually place the outer dot on the eyebrow right where the eyebrow
ends, but doing so (I guess when it's too close to the yellow line of the face border) causes
the brow to be inflated.
So, I just moved the dot in until the inflated area receded, which wasn't the full length of the brow, and that worked just fine.
Thanks again. Onto more lifelike faces!
