Hi estherau, Glad to see your are enjoying this program. once you learn to customize you GI &HDRI settings you will get even better results. here is render i did using only an HDR image to light the scene but imported a simple Jpeg as a background image for the sky. remember Carrara imports posers scene lights as well so if you use a scene wizard preset that already has preset lights the imported poser lights may "blow out" your image so remember to delete the imported poser lights after import unless you want to use them
