It is for a fantasy lighting situation. I have a glowing energy-beam-cage-type-thing that I need to keep a few bright lights from affecting, because when the light hits the glowing surface it screws up the glowing effect.

I am in Poser 7, so as far as I know I don't have gamma correction settings. While I would love to get a nice new Poser Pro 2010, neither my computer nor my bank account will support it right now.

Right now I am experimenting with using a prop that is invisible, but visible in raytracing and casting shadows to "shield" my energy-cage prop from the lights. Unfortunately I don't know how it's going to work because I don't have time right now to let my computer sit undisturbed and run a render, but I'll probably run one this evening and see how it goes.
