Hi Zaug : Ah-so . Yes it's there , and I totally could not find it (not sure what you mean by "until that one only gets a color channel") . Anyway , create & render just a simple sphere and at the very bottom of the 'View Window/Render' menu is the option to "Show Backup" the 'Colour' channel . Personally , I think there should be a header with "Show Backup" , and the available channels listed directly underneath . Maybe that is not do-able with the XP menu system ? If not , then maybe this new option could be somewhere that a _new user_ can easily locate . (or just add a pre-hyphen etc) Then again , maybe it's a simple fix that can be added to SP1 ? It's an awesome time saving tool . New users can explore the very powerful channel system that exists just below the surface ... advanced users no longer have to fire up 'ShowImg.exe' , select the file , then choose the channel . Thanks for your reply (& thanks RS for this V6 addition) . garry
