Title: Shadows problem
Post by: Arian Shamil on June 10, 2013, 03:53:51 PM
Hi to everybody...
When I use a background different from white i've a shadow problem...
The shadow is not "graduated" but is like in low resolution.....the shadows are composed from just 6,7 type of black and grey....it seems like a low color depth...
I hope you can understand my problem....i've attached an image to understand the problem...
Excuse me so much for my bad english...

Thanks a lot to have replied to me.
Yeah, i've tried...i've tried all the option but it's always the same....I've tried JPG, PNG, TIFF and TIFF 32 bit...but i've always this problem....i really can't understand what could be the problem...also because i've the problem only on the background/floor shadow...
