*General Usage Tip's & Trick's for this Product:

Created for Photoshop (*any Vers), PSP (*any Vers), Painter 11 or 
Essentials (*any Vers), Artrage, GIMP or like style program. Also 
you can use them in any version of Poser as an Imported Background.

Use these images to add interest and drama to all of your creative 
projects. Enhance your work by adding a touch of color and interest 
to your work. Using them at a lower opacity creates a soft image. Use 
them at full opacity to create a more dramatic image. 

Create an Overlay!
Place your main image on top of one of the backgrounds. Using the Erasier 
tool, set on 6-20, gently erase the main image in smal sections so that the 
background shows through the image. Or cut out a section with your selection 
tool set at feathering 40-80, cut and paste on image and then smudge or use 
your wind tool to create a mist effect. 

Making Shadows!

Add a new layer in PSP/Photoshop. Using the air brush tool, add black 
in a general area around and in front/behing your character. Using the 
'Smudge' tool, blend all of the black around the characters legs and 
where ever the shodows should fall, then lower the opacity of the layer 
to the best looking level. Then merge/flatten.

You can do a edge little cleaning (*with your Erasier Tool set on a 
smaller size) up where the bottom of your Main Character or Prop meets 
the character. You can use the 'Curves' function or your air brush tool 
to deepen/darken the reflection to add even more perspective to your work 
(*I set mine on about strength of about 10 in opacity and add a little 
bit at a time), when you have the right amount of shading/reflection, 
merge your image and copy save the result. I do not save the changes to 
the original image, just in case you want to try a different effect or 
idea at another time. ;)

Importing Image into Poser! Each .jpg Image is 2500W X 3000H and 300dpi.
When using imported background's in any project, you can add them to any 
poser render by going to "file, import background image". ***Rememebr to 
size your preview/render dimension to the same size format as the background, 
with these images the best preview window/render setting is 750X625*** 
Then resize from that there. To save your complete render, always select 
save as 'TIFF' format, if you select .PNG the background will not blend 
into the render you are trying to save. You can also use these backgrounds 
to set up your scene, and when you have the scene set up to your satisfaction, 
then delete the imported background image, and set the option "Render Over 
Current BG Shader" and save your props/characters only for future use.
