Got a PhotoShop technique or feature you want more information on? Just let me know and I'll research it and start a thread on it for more indepth discussion.

I would want to know more about the render lighting effect.
I think it is a very powerful part that can give wonderful extra punch to your images.
I would like to use it for instance to make a backdrop be lit out as in a pro studio, to make some dappled light specs as under foliage, to make a realistic bg for flowers cut out from their original bg or ..... Is this possible? I have been trying this out myself but the effect doesn't quite look natural enough.

cheers
