Subject: forground image transparency trouble
X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas
Status: RO
X-Status:
I'm compositing an animation with an still image (a building with a rose
bush in front) and I want my object has to fly behind the bush. I've created
a chroma key in photoshop, 100% white where the bush is 100% black for the
background and saved it as a separate image. In effect I want the bush to
appear in the foreground. By the manual, and all I have read this should
work, but my foreground image dissolves by about 50% over my object. My
foreground dissolve is set to 0%. It looks pretty cool actually, but not the
desired effect.
Details: Intel/NT 4.0 rev C the image & chroma are 24 bit iff
