I have a photograph of a background (a field). Now i have rendered two planes in Vue 6 and i want to place these over the background (photo) in PS 7 is there any way of doing this. I also have the alpha and the bump map from Vue 6.
I have tried copy paste but this copies and pastes the whole picture and i dont want that, just the planes.

Use the alpha (channel) to select what you want.

And once it's selected - use the Move Tool (hit the letter: v) to literally "click and drag" from one image to the other - not the copy/paste method.

Once it's in the new image, continue to use the Move Tool to move it into place, and you can fine-tune the placement by using the up/down/left/right arrow keys on your keyboard.
Good luck - hope that helps-
