Can I use a dome only as reflection map?

Hiya!

I've never really used a dome in my pictures, because I never understood how to work with it in Daz properly.

In other 3D Programs, I can add several maps to my scene to be used as reflection, lightmap or background. I Daz it seems I can only use a single map which I can choose to show in the background or not, but it appears that it alwas serves as light source and reflection. So my question is: is it possible to use the dome only for reflection without any light coming from it? If so, than how?

    Is this in Iray? If so, I don't believe so though it's not a feature I've looked into - it might be possible via a light path expression, using Canvasses in the Advanced tab of Render Settings.

    Couldn't solve this problem, but I could perfect my post process with light path expressions, thanks. For now I will use tonemapping and a reference render to keep the picture as neutral as possible.

    What about turning the Environment Map and Environment Intensity to 0?
