Re: using an eps to cut a sphere

DUH!
It's not evident from your screenshot, but my bet is that you're working on a sphere primitive here.
Displacement only works on polygon objects - not primitives (i.e. built in objects like the sphere). You need to make the sphere editable first. Be sure to crank up the resolution from the default 24 to say 200, and when the object is selected in the manager, hit the letter C.
As the displacement actually messes up the object's geometry, this kind of makes sense. Alpha doesn't, and neither does Bumpmaps (even if the appearance can be similar to displacement, bumpmaps is just an optical trick with its limititions), and that's why THEY work on primitives.

Her lips said "no!" but her eyes said "read my lips".
