Before I had thought it would be cool to have a render with a lot of tick
box options so you could hide/show names and certain features.
Then you could copy several selections into photoshop as seperate layers.
As names must be so hard to place right automatically, you can just edit
your 'labels' layer in photoshop to move them about or delete and redo some.
I understand that it would be way down a to-do list though, it hasn't even
gone on my list yet.
