Hello!
Can someone please explain why the shadows gets lighter when copy the selection, and pasting in again?
I want the shadows to be as the pasted in version, (shorter and more suttle) but can I do that by adjusting some Alpha-layers? Its rendered from blender, look my video

Thanks!

Why do you do that at all and not render the image with object and shadow separate to begin with?

Anyway, a pixel of 50% opacity, selected 50% and copy/pasted will result in a pixel of 25% opacity.
