Ok, I saw this somewhere and couldn't figure out where it was, so I figured I'd ask :) I'f I want to import a lens flare into Bryce, how do I keep the black background out of it? I created a new file in Photoshop, gave it a balck background, and added the lens flare, and now am at a loss. Thanks for your help.

Make a second "negative" of the lens flare making the parts you don't want black and the parts you do want white (if you make them gray it makes that part semi-transparent based on the shade of gray) then place this "negative" in the second channel of the pic editor in Bryce. What should happen is everything that is black should be transparent and everything that was white is what is left to show through.

I'd say you just make your lensflare-texture additive, that way you get a nice bright lens-flare.
