Ok. Maybe I will try doing that once my current render is finished, sometime
tomorrow. Thanks. I was a bit confused by this option as well, though.
Should I just use the block:

photons
{
  pass_through
  collect off
}

I assume that I should use "collect off" as I show above. I also am making
the assumption that specifying "target" doesn't make sense in this context.
