Background image not rendering behind windows

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm having a problem with my rendered images where the background image does not show behind transparent surfaces, as in the image below. I am using a custom scene, and the problem does not occur with 'Outdoor Daylight Medium', and possibly other scenes, but I don't know what settings to look at to get it to work the same. I didn't think I had changes that much between that scene and my custom one. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this? Thanks.

cadpg:

Try this:
1. In the PhotoRendering Setting, check the Detailed Settings box, then go to Environment > Physical Sky > Sky and uncheck Sky.
2. Now uncheck the Detailed Settings box, then go to Background: Image and add the image you want for the background.

I don't know if disabling the Sky setting will affect other settings, but it is worth a shot.
