Steve, >>>the temp files you are referring to is where the renderer stores it's data while finishing/creating an image… the shadow.tmp is where the alpha channels are stored… these files should not be left behind after you close the render… Thank God they are left behind! (We are talking about the TEMP.TGA and SHADOW.TGA in your Temp directory, right? The uncompressed versions of your latest targa tendering job?) As it turnes out those are the only .TGA files from A:M that can be read directly by PhotoShop (PC version). I think PhotoShop has problem with the compressed .TGA format that uses the developers info section… Pawel
