Thanks Pete... sounds like the fastest way would be to render my finished image first.. then go back and change to one of those skies for masks, and then render my selected objects.. they will be even easier to select around them..and then just drag the SELECTION over onto the original image animal, and do a copy -paste.. much like I use the Bryce mask render..to get that perfect selection! Thanks everyone!! :)) Lyne
