Hi There Guys

Try using lower tolerance for you colour selection/magic wand. And when you've made your selection, you can use the selection/mask (alternatively refine edge depending on your PS version) to tweak further (like 0,2 feather and shifting edge inwards usually works nicely to remove halos). Hopefully alpha rendering shouldn't be long from now. :(

Thanks for your reply Oscar J.

Those tecniques you mention for photoshop are the ones i used to use when i worked with artlantis and they were so easy to use and affective...but they seem not to work with unbiased renderings. I worked with Maxwell for a little while and i had the same problem. Later learned Vray for Sketchup and that was fine , but you needed to render with a full black background....Could that work with indigo? :roll: I am gonna give a try.

:D I think it should work, unbiased or not. I am not sure Maxwell is strictly unbiased anymore - from what I've heard they remove fireflies etc by default since a while ago. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's nice to have an option not to. :)
