Hi, I am trying to make figures of protein surfaces using pymol, and I have two questions:
1. Is there any way of getting rid of the shadows when ray-tracing a picture (I have tried turning off the "specular reflections" setting but that doesn't seem to help)? 2. I would also like to export non-ray-traced images. However, when I write PNG files from these images, they are speckled (there is a grid of small white dots superimposed on the image). I don't have this problem when writing out ray-traced figures, so I assume that there is nothing strange about the programs that I'm using to read the png files. Also, the white dots only lie over the surface. There is also an inhibitor in these figures and it looks fine. Has anyone out there had experience with either of these situations? Thanks!! John
