Nick: I'm finally getting into using Visual Image and I'm discovering that it is another truly great product. I've got a few interface tips to pass along for the next release (when will that be by the way?) but at the moment I've got a pressing functionality question: -How do you "drop-out" a single color besides black? I've fidgeted with the settings for almost hours but I can't get just one color to disappear. The option would be perfect if it worked just like it does in Renderize where you simply pick the alpha channel color you want to become transparent from the image. The present method is great for special, artsy collage affects but limiting precision masks to black only SEVERLY limits architectural rendering effects on high contrast renderings that you want to superimpose (black is to major a component.) Hope we can chat about this for awhile. joel*
