I am trying to use the GIDome 1 and 2 with Carrara, and am having difficulty.  First, I cannot seem to get them into the browser for Carrara 7Pro.  I install (using the damn Daz installer - I hate this proprietary installer method).  Then I go to the browser and add folder.  I navigate to where the files are placed by the installer, under presets in my main Carrara 7Pro folders.  I try to add the folder and it prompts me as to what I want to install.  I try everything.  In my browser I have a set of background presets under GIDome1, but no backdrops.  I have nothing in the folder on the browser for gkdHDRI after installing this.  I put a color in the backdrop, then drop one of the background images over the background in the scene and it seems to pick it up.  I am getting little to no effect in the image.  I have removed one wall, as described in the video tutorial.  I also get lots of bad artifacts in shadowed areas.

How do I use this product?  How do I use the HDRI files?  Do these not install or work in Carrara 7Pro?

Thanks for any help.
