This problem appears only If I export picture with Shadow Cacther ON. It is exactly in the middle of the screen. Do you anybody know solution? Thank you.

Hi,
Shadow Catcher is limited, and works well only with Environment nodes, not with Emitters.
Better to use the Render Layer technique instead:

Oh, thank you. So, next time If I want to use more light source (not only environment map) I have to render via render layers. I didn't know that shadow catcher have this limitation.
One more questions - Is this the same in newer version Octane?
