    Ya, I can get into the shader properties, but all that you can do there is reload the image or change it’s sampling. I guess they updated that in version 9.5.

    Unfortunately in C4D v9.1 there is no “Layerset . . . Select” tab in the alpha settings. I suspect that the newer version solves this issue, so it’s probably time to upgrade.

    That’s cool, thanks for all your suggestions. I will try SAP sampling and look into the different anti-aliasing modes. I guess the photoshop format has always worked well for me, so I am quick to come to it’s defense… haha. I really appreciate your comments.

    Cheers!

    Saving with an actual alpha channel doesn’t fix the problem. And the matte can’t really be choked as it gets to thin and starts to deteriorate. Playing with the color and delta settings changes the choke settings a bit, but it’s fairly unpredictable and seems unreliable.

    I’m pretty sure the photoshop format isn’t really to blame, as it works with pretty much every other graphic app out there. It’s c4d that doesn’t interpret it’s transparent backgrounds properly.

    Is there a way that a fully vector illustrator file could be used with a transparent background instead?

    Basically I need help getting rid of the fringe produced by the alpha channel. You would think that if you had a photoshop document with a transparent background, it would create a perfect alpha channel, but it’s far from perfect.

    I’ve read that version 10 seems to fix the problem, but has anyone found a solution for v9?
