Hi to all, I have one question regarding the compositing of two 3DS images in photoshop 3.0: How can I composite two images, both with alpha channel, inside photoshop. Photoshop should use the alpha channel to calculate the transparency of the images. I know that this is a tiny question but I don`t want to use 3DS for compositing… Michael

When you bring an image into Photoshop that has alpha information all you have to do is Load Selection and choose #4 (which is the alpha channel). Then Edit/Copy (or Cut) and Paste into your other picture — transparency will be maintained correctly for the image.

Thanks very much Mike. I didn`t know that it`s so easy! Maybe there is a "generate image" button which generates everything I`m dreaming of <g>. Michael
