I hate to have to ask a newbie-sounding question after being here for so many years (and have the answer be something simple that I should have known or remembered), but what setting am I missing that causes Poser Pro 2012 to render my backgrounds transparent?  I have tried "Render Over Background Picture" and "Render Over Background Shader" (with an image map in the node) and exporting in .png, .jpg and .tif formats, and my background, which I can see correctly rendered within the Poser program environment, never shows up in the exported image (they become a transparent layer).

(I last worked in Poser several years ago - version 5 - and just recently got back into it with Poser Pro 2012.)
