I am having big problems saving alternative light setups from my MXI file. The MXI file opens and I can adjust the lighting using MultiLight but when I choose "Save Image" I just get a second copy of the original version or worse no image at all! Not cool.

Anyone had similar problems?

You must press Refresh button before saving an image

(If you don't see this button, when you open MXI, in menu go to Window and Preview must be checked ON.)

You can also automate this process, so image will be refreshed every time when you move the slider,

go to Preferences - General and check Automatic Update After Editing. Now you can edit image and save it

immediately without pressing Refresh button.

You have to have "Automatic Update After Editing" checked under "Fast Multi Light Preview".

If you do not and "Fast Multi Light Preview" is checked, the image will preview correctly BUT the saved image will not reflect the preview image.

I guess there must be a reason for this but I cannot think why? Nowhere have I ever been able to "Save Image" but the saved image not be what I am seeing!
