I have image files of people but they have a black background and it shows up if I try to attach them to objects. I really need to make the black transparent or does anyone have any other suggestions. Thanks Post by spacekdet // Mar 20, 2009, 8:05am spacekdet Total Posts: 1360 tS 6.6 method of alpha-mapping here (http://home.comcast.net/%7Espacekdet/masktut/). Same procedure in Model, in Workspace the idea is the same but the tools look different.

Disadvantages of People-in-scene are: wrong shadows if the plane of the people is not perpendicular to the light source, very often - wrong lightness/contrast/saturation compare to the whole scene, and finally wrong reflections of the invisible part of the body. Advantages of 'photoshopping' is that you are free to shoose the best location (in terms of composition) of the people and plants and correct brightness. Shadows and reflections can be made easily in PS as well.
