OK, I've just been trying a few experiments.... (mainly addressed to work-flow, ease of use...) Load your square (NB: It MUST be the 1-sided squere, not the 2-sided one. The 2-sided one introduces artefacts into the render). Scale it to the exact same size as the picture. Enter the Materials room and apply the picture to it. Ensure that there are no specular effects applied: set specular to pure black, and (belt'n'braces), set specular value to 0. Exit mat room. Move the square back as far as it needs to go (and probably twice as far in your situation, to avoid shadows falling on the background). Use the "scale" dial to increase the size of the square equally, so that it fills as much of the background as necessary. Render to check (not necessary, but advised...) Save. (save early and save often - under different names...when Poser hangs/crashes, which it does with alarming frequency, these backups can be a god-send). Add the rest of your stuff.. and see what happens. A small but possibly significant point: I found that the P4 renderer did a much better job of re-sizing the picture than firefly; firefly blurred the pic, whilst the P4 renderer was sharp. Of course, depending on the circumstances, this can be a good or bad thing.. Cheers, Diolma (if this appears twice, blame 'rosity..)
