Hi, I am compositing render passes in photoshop and was wondering what order should I place the layers to get the best results. The passes that I have rendered are AO, diffuse, beauty, master beauty, indirect, specular and, reflection. I was told that you should place the AO on top and set that layer to multiply. I have set the rest to screen. All help on the layer order and the best effects to use would be helpful.

Thanks

Just do whatever looks best. There aren't necessarily any magical formulas that will work in every single circumstance.
