Thank you Maru, and sorry for my previous unclear question:
I have a simple archiviz interior and a plane with the background image outside windows.
The material for background plane is a Corona Rayswitch material, I follow the Corona Helpdesk indications to make it.
I have no problem in render but I wonder to see the backgrond image also in viewport because it's easier and faster to adjust it (move and scale).
I hope to clarify enough, my english compete with my Corona skills..... ;-)

Thanks

Bye

There are two easiest ways to do this:

-if you wish to stick to Corona 1.2:
1. create your rayswitch, press "show map in viewport" for any material you wish
2. create a Shell Material
3. place the rayswitch material in first slot, pick the "render" radio button for it
4. place the material in which you pressed the "show map in viewport" button in the second slot, pick "viewport" radio button


-if you can use daily builds
1. Just grab the newest one. :)
