Quote - The Halo problem is exactly why I liked having the alpha channel and background image option.

Same here! But as you say, will just have to find another way of doing it then.

Quote - But with the new workflow hmmmm first render the foreground figures with NO LIGHTS and NO BACKGROUND.  Save that image as a PSD - you can use the MASK from the alpha in your FINAL image!!  Just drag that alpha into the other doc!

I'll see how this works out, thanks!
