Hmm. I just read this again.

Quote - that's not the technique I'm very interested in.  (I rarely, if ever, layer my renders onto background images in photoshop.  I  prefer to work within Poser and don't do much postwork to speak of.) 

Perhaps I've mislead you somewhere. The use of the shadow catcher is specifically NOT for postwork. It is specifically for generating the final image within Poser - no postwork is involved. All of the renders you see compositing a 3D figure or prop and its shadows onto a photo was done entirely in the Poser render.

I NEVER do postwork. It violates my sensiblities - I have a fondness for generating the correct image immediately.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
