Uploaded this mostly as I could use some advice regarding backgrounds in studio and so far haven't gotten advice that is working suitably from the forums. I used a background prop in this scene and as alway's. Shadow casting is an issue. It's been suggested that I skip the background and postwork it in utilizing layer's in a graphics program. Easy enough except for the color bleed with with the exported png file. Standard studio places the background on the back wall of the scene running above and below ground plane. What I need is a way to make the background stop at the ground plane. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Mark..
