Black background

in The Commons
Oftentimes I render a figure like Genesis 8 with feet clipping into the floor of the room prop, then re-render using the first render as a backdrop and deleing the room prop.
But suddenly in the last 2 weeks, the background/environment does not show up, only black background. How do I fix this ??

If you want transparency or an alpha then you must save the no-background render as PNG or Tiff, jpg will get a solid background.
Or backdrop is not set to none?
