I have poser5 I need images with alpha channel (images with background trasparency). I read the manual, but I don't understand. Please help me. Yours faithfully Fabio

Are you asking about saving images from P5 when you have rendered them? Go to File>Export>Image and select a format such as .tiff or .png - these save an alpha channel with them, unlike .jpg. Open the tiff or png in Photoshop or other image editing program and you're good to go :)

I have the same question, except I'd like to render out to video with an alpha channel background. Possible?

render/ material/ set object->background set into BG picture: image mapped->alpha set into BG movie: image mapped->alpha (for aspirin99) render options poser4 render no antialias (I can not make it work on firefly render) And of course: File->Export->Image and select a format such as .tiff or .png these save an alpha channel with them, unlike .jpg thank you very much, Karen1573, you help me. I need your advice, you save me many hours of post render work. Thank you again Your happy Fabio
