Ok,,, my thoughts on this,,, shadow,, you play with the properties,,, might want to try shadow maps as to raytrace... or then again set the buffer and get the shadow out and then do it manually if you desire more control. Ok hope i am not confusing you... look up the light properties... will help you. Ok the resampled and exposed are when you play with the rendered image in LW,,, maybe the dark and light settings to get more exposure... or to save out the alpha of the image, you plan to use later in photoshop.

Oh ya as for formats... i use PNG if its for norm stuff,, and either TGA or TIFF for more complex uses.
