I don't get any alpha channel on Mental Ray. The option for RGB and Alpha seem to be greyed out in my Global Rendering otpions.. Anybody can help ?

Well here is how it works.

There is an option called Framebuffer Attribute in the MR Render Global Editor, Play with the settings and you ll see how alpha channel integrates in Photoshop. Pretty neat actually !
