I modelled my g&g dezinez logo in 3d Canvas. Everything else is in MegaPov
.7.  I'm having trouble with photon settings. If I set the spacing to .05 I
get these ugly white spots. If I set it to .03 the spots are smaller. If I
set the spacing to less than .03 the render doesn't finish. I've had to go
back to working in MegaPov .7 because I can't afford regular large downloads
on the phone.

Any suggestions on the photon settings?

I'm not good with photons, but the word "individual" needs an "I" at the 
front (unless it's intentional)

This picture is very cool!

Im not too good at this sort of thing either, but IMHO, the spots look
realistic :-)

First, you need to add "photons{collect off}" to all glass objects.  White
spots are signs that you have too few photons, so each photon is carrying
too much energy.  You may also need to adjust the spacing on a per-target
basis, depending on the relative locations of the light sources and targets.

Also, what is the purpose of using photons in this image?  This might be a
case where they're not worth the wait.

I think the "I" will show up if I render it at a higher resolution as it is
in the image that I used for the image map

I was hoping to get some nice caustics, but I think I agree that it looks
better without the photons.
