Embeded alpha channel in coop mode

there seems to be a bug using the embeded alpha channel of PNGs with HDRI background/lighting
It only happens in coop network mode, the direct render is ok.
Using a separated alpha map works. Here is a comparison of the network render results:
scene setup:
- HDRI for all channels
- one emitter material using MXI
- two normal emitter materials

Could you please try with a TIF also to see if it's just an issue with PNG, or really it's a difference between removing the alpha afterwards in PS, vs doing it 'beforehand' when saving with PNG and transparent alphas.

i will try it.
I have to add that this scene was using multilight, i don't know if this could make a difference.

The background in these rows are different. Clouds and trees? I didn't get what's wrong with your output. Could you send the scene to tomATnextlimitDOTcom?

no, it is the same background.
The "clouds" should be the trees in the lower image. But it seems to be "merged" with the background EXR.
I will try to reduce the scene to the neccessary elements and send it to you.
