It would be great if HDRIs could be used just for reflections, such blue sky & clouds in building windows, without also having to be used as the RW Image Background. While HDRIs are great for lighting and/or reflections, they aren't always so great, or desirable, for Image Backgrounds. Currently, in order to get reflections from an HDRI in conjunction with a different Background Image, it seems necessary to create the Image Background as an image mask in a viewport, cropped around the model. This of course is pretty much always a very time-consuming task...
