Subject: Poser render to photoshop mask outline advice
Render your image against the same, or similar variant depending on complexity of composite, background color as the color you are going to be compositing against. Render Over: Backgound Color.The small fringe of pixels will then be sympathetic to your final composite. In this case black? Save out as .psd. Sometimes a quick pass along the outlines of your filled pixels with the blur tool, very low value blur, after merging, will also more naturally blend the fore and back pixels together besides. Also a very slight lens blur masked with a zdepth pass as a layer mask helps to bring things together naturally. MMV according to image and desired contrast. I generally render Sinc, filter size 2 or 3 which results in a very crisp render but sometimes requires a little post blur along edges to minimize aliasing or soften edges a little.

BB's advice is to always render over black. Specifically, in Render settings, select "Render Over:" Black. This is different from rendering over a background colour set to black.

Hi,
I rendered an asteroid belt in poser to a photoshop image. It looks fine, no foreground or background. It comes in with the background masked out. Okay, swell. Then, I add a black star background so they wont be lonely. Looks okay, but each asteroid has a white pencil thin outline, so they look weird and like they are masked. I can fix this in PS, but I was just wondering if you ran into this and if there is a way to render where this will not happen. Thanks!
