Just a thought... One of the posts above mentioned making the image fade at the edges. You can do that if you have P5/6. The 2 balls above have identical settings except for trans. edge. The left ball has trans edge of 0.25, the right one has trans edge of 1.0. (Just FYI, main trans = 0.7, falloff = 0.5 and specular is 0.) Cheers, Diolma
