Rendering help using ''The Library''.....

...I can't win. Please see the attached images. This is Jack's ''The Library''; every test render I did showed the windows transparent (I had the glass shader set at 25%). On a smaller size render, the windows show transparent in Windows Photo Viewer, but when the same file is opened in Corel PhotoPaint, for editing, the windows are dark. What's that about?

All of the large size renders have the windows dark. I don't know if LAMH had anything to do with this; my large size test renders without the hair added had the windows transparent. I want the windows transparent.

PS, thanks to all who helped get the lights running correctly.

Thanks,

Mike

    You will find there is a saved alpha channel, I'm not sure how it will appear in PhotoPaint - looks for a Channels or masks pane. Floating the image to a new layer, if need be, and applying the alpha channel as a layer mask should give the desired result. It's just a matter of difference in the ways applications handle a tiff with an alpha channel.

    Holy crap, that was easy. I figured it was something like that, but wasn't sure what to call it. I've never had this problem before, but I have heard of alpha channels.

    Thanks for your help.

    To all who helped, thanks. Attached is a radically reduced image of the final product.
