Hi all

I'm sure I've asked this somewhere ages ago, but can't seem to find it, but how do you use Bryce masks? E.g lets say I want to be able to mask an object out once I have the rendered image in Photoshop, how do I apply the masks in photoshop? I know how to render the Bryce object mask,  but once I have that in Photoshop I'm a bit lost...

As far as i remeber you have to put the mask in the alphachannel or apply a mask object to the layer - adding a mask layer is the little round whie icon in the layer window - hope it makes some kind of sense :-)

Pretty much as Nazul says:
For step-by-step:
Create a 'new' channel under the channels tab.
Copy/paste the black + white Bryce mask render into that new channel spot.
Then you can use it as a selection however you like.

Yup, that's the absolute best way.

Thanks very much everyone for your help. I've managed getting the maks into the new channel, now I just have to find some tutorials somewhere on how to use it as a selection -I've not done that before so it's all a bit of a learning curve. Thanks very much for your help though

Thanks very much AgentSmith, I managed to work out a way of doing it from that
