Thanks for the leaf/trans jpegs. They look great. I had one small puzzle to work through. As I worked on the piece I kept seeing faint "edge ghosts" I tried everything from inside bryce. Nothing worked. Next step, I examined the mats up close. The scans have shadows, which in turn create ghosts in the trans-map. These probably won't be noticable in mid-to-distant renders. The fix for these is manually cutting them closer in an image editing program. (ok, one more small note) The center leaf is applied to a shpere, the others to a semi flat stone. Trying to flatten them with a shpere squishes the ends over. The Stone works great! Thanks Again, These are excellent samples.

The reason why they show up is because of the shadows of the Leaves showing on the White when scanned...Should have been Painted out in Paintshop Pro or Photoshop...Still nice Leaf images...

You're welcome! I did these for not so closeup work. I just did a black fill from the edge and adjusted the tolerance. I stopped when I started chipping parts off the actual leaf. It was close enough for what I needed.
