Gregory, In Photoshop, assuming you rendered a TGA with alpha on and alpha-split off, then just go to the selection menu and hit 'load selection'. This will load the alpha channel as a mask. And about the "…conflicting use of alpha…" in the maps message, I got that too when I rendered a scene in r3 that was done in r2. I just ignored the message and rendered anyway, and it rendered fine, even as a 32 bit file. I am curious to know what it means though. David
