New day new beginner issues ;)

So i triel to get a Shadow Catcher Working in my test Project, as you can see in my first screenshot I simply added a plane (also tested it with C4D floor) and applied the shadow catcher material, I that I added the corona sky element... watching all the youTube tutorials that should work just fine... but as you can see the Plane just does not disappear as it should.

My Corona Sky Element (screenshot 2) is filled with an CoronaLight Material in wich I added the HDRI... I assume there is my Problem?
When I setup a quick test scene and ad the HDRI straight in the Corona Sky it seem to work just fine... is there a workaround?

Thx again

Solved: needed another TonemapControl and I also needed to use the Backplate instead of my HDRI... now it makes sense ;)
