I messed up my explanation (it's been a long day). I could only do the foreground and background in Poser 4 (because the items I was using don't render in Poser 5 for some reason) and then I did the characters in Poser 5 to take advantage of a lighting effect there. The bonus was that when I deleted the background using the alpha channel, part of the graphic became transparent in a way that I wanted it to. Very cool. I love layers too. It really gives you some extra depth and interest to a graphic. I know not everyone likes postworked renderings, but sometimes I just can't get an effect I like any other way. :)
