oh I have to disagree there.  I think prior to GC or at least that other HSV tone lighty thing, that people put tons of lights in their scenes because the scenes were so dark, but all that did was make the lit parts almost white and the shadowed parts were too shadowed.
I think it's definitely an improvement having the latest poser versions.  But even so there are some scenes where GC seems to destroy the richness of the colours, and make the skin grey green. In my example I still used an advanced poser feature which was tone mapping HSV exponential at 2.2
It did need that I feel but GC killed the image so i partially agree with you I suppose I am saying.
Love esther
