Add an Absorption colour which is the inverse of your emission colour, 
and it should show up on white backgrounds...

This means, if you have an emission of rgb< 1, 0.2, 0.152 >, the 
absorption should be rgb< 0, 0.8, 0.848 >
 
Bye for now,

Mmmmm nice flame, looks much more like a cigerett lighter flame
in shape and distribution of colour, but maybe the yellow should
be more white and more red than it is (what I probably mean is 
the yellow section needs less green in it).

Tsk. Add an absorption color that is the inverse of your emission
color _and_has_the_same_brightness_ . Try something like this:

#macro Brightness ( Color )
  0.3*Color.r + 0.59*color.g + 0.11*color.b
#end

#macro Inverse_Color ( Color )
  #local Jamie_Inverse = <1,1,1>-Color;
  Jamie_Inverse / Brightness (Jamie_Inverse) * Brightness (Color)
#end

I hope it works, my newsreader isn't the best way to try out POV code
:)

That would explain why I've only had limited success playing with 
emitting media on white backgrounds.  Ta.

Mind you, I've not really played that much with media in any serious 
manner.

Ah well, that's another piece of (useful) trivia to try and file away in 
the POV related section of my brain...

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
