How to change the rendered background from black to white

Debbie911

Here is the screen shot of the image I was rendering, and the  completed image, as a .jpg file.

What can I do, in DAZ Studio, to change the black background to white?

Thank you in advance for your help.

You can add a solid-colour (or mapped) backdrop via Window>Panes(Tabs)>Environment - just set the type to backdrop, set the colour, and if desired add a map by clicking the button to the left of the colour bar. You can also save as PNG or Tiff, which will apply an alpha channel/transparency, and then insert a coloured fill layer behind the image in your image editor. I prefer the latter as it gives more flexibility, but either should yield the desired result.

The black is what you get from transparent backgrounds when saving as a jpg. If you want to retain the transparency, save as a png. For a plain white background, the easiest way is to change it in the Environment tab. Click on the Type drop-down list (should be the only thing there, if you have nothing set) and select Backdrop. You can change your colour and/or use a picture (which will get squished to fit the shape of your render aspect).

D'oh. Ninja'ed again.
