I have very recently come to the same conclusion. Though I have some beautiful looking photo skins they are a devil to get just right in shape, maybe the 'real' contours just not being easily mimicked by the sliders whereas the drawn skins being 'flatter' map better?
I spotted a photo skin in Colona last night that was notoriously misshapen .. methinks my next project
