      Hi again,

      I am trying to drop my model into different views and I am using photomatch.

      However for some reason my model appears to be partially transparent in the photomatch viewer and when I exit by clicking done.

      I have looked at the styles tab and the only settings for transparency seem to be for the photo ...not the model.

      Background and foreground photo seem to let you adjust the ...well background photo only in my case... or even turn it off.

      I would be happy just to turn it off export it and do the final comp in PS but cant seem to do this.

      My only idea which I will try now is to orbit out of the photo view..change styles and then click on back camera...

      but not sure why I need this work around ... assuming it even works.

      thanks as ever

        Hi David,

        Are you trying to adjust things here under styles?

          Hi Gaieus,

          yes I had read a previous post of yours on photomatch which mentioned the styles tab for adjusting the transparency of the photo...and was wondering if this was where they settings for the model itself were

            This is just a visual effect while (and before/after) you are trying to match the photo. Eventually you need to project this photo onto the model you make based on it - did you also do that?

              Gaieus,

              yes basically what I do is to export the scene as a jpeg with the photo...then in PS import the photo again and paste it over the combined image and erase to reveal the composited image below..

              this works quite well only the model on the image below is partially transparent so it looks a bit ghosted...

                What I mean is that after you match the photo and press "Done", do you also project the photo onto the model? Like below
                (please, disregard the example as it is really not a PM example but I only used it to invoke the dialog)
