this could be a awfully newbie question, but here we go:
I've made a nice model and rendered it aganist a black background. That's all ok. However, the picture needs to have a white background. But when I change the background color, the model (since it's pretty glossy and a bit reflective) simply turns pale from the ambient color.
I'd like to retain the darker, more saturated color that the model had against a black background, while having a white background instead. Can this be done in lightwave, or do I need to do it in photoshop?
