Purpose:

output a render in the PSD file  format using perlight feature then add lighting effects and a fog using the Light layers and alpha channel.
File has perlight and compat mode checked and is re-composed using Photoshop6 with standard filters.

Layer one has the original Truspace out flattened and added as a layer into the file;

Alpha channel is enabled. and a grayscale linear gradient applied to it .
Loclight, has lens flare filter added.
Loclight1,has 35mm lens added.
Loclight2,nothing done to this layer.
spotlight, has flare filter added with changed parameters.
spotlight1,has flare filter added with more intensity.

File demonstrates a simple use of post process effects on individual layers and the interaction of those layers within the PSD environment.:

Turn off layer 1 and enable the other layers to see the effects.
Toggling layer 2 on and off will show a drastic change to the file.
Toggling other layers will show different results.
Toggling Alpha channel creates a fog type effect. colour dependant on channel colour and opacity settings.

Psd file size is 1.6 mb a 400x300 pixel image , Rescaled from 800x600 output.
