I recieved Bryce 4 as a gift a while back and have been learning the program. Since reading books always gets me lost, and all the info tends to run together, I'm a hands on-figure it out as I go- type. I recently began importing images into the program via the "edit 2D pictures" feature. In this case I loaded an image of a black cat created in Paint Shop Pro 6. I load the image into the first two places and turn the second negative. When I paste the composite the cat looks great. Until I place an object or a light color sky behind it. Then it's painfully obvious that the image of the cat is semi transparent. How do I get it so that the cat is solid? Thanks folks!
