Mac, I've re-read your post several times now and I'm thinking that maybe you mis-read my previous message ;). The whole point of my previous message was that it DOES indeed affect the shadows falling on it - it makes them better. Are you saying that there are 'other' effects? Or was this just a miscommunication issue?
