Diffuse_level ontop of Diffuse_Raw, with diffuse_level multiplying "diffuse_raw" is diffuse_result (equal to rendering only the diffuse in the render ?)
If the above is correct, what is ticking me off is it is so dark, when I render in the renderer, it's nice, although maybe I'm jumping ahead of myself, I've only so far comped the diffuse layers, no spec,reflection included, I hope that is the reason ! Photoshop 'add' blend mode doesn't work in 32-bit color space, what is the correct alternative ? ::Christopher:: Jens Lindgren wrote: > diffuse_raw * diffuse_level = diffuse_result > The same with specular.
