Shadow softness issues

I am having an issue getting my shadows to blend. On the right of the picture frame the soft shadow of the tree does not blend with the harder shadow of the frame.

I am using one rectangle light, and can fix the shadow with a hard light. Is this just a limitation of the engine at this time or is there a setting I am missing?

I think it’s just perhaps that the material of the frame is less rough ( more reflective ) than the main picture. Have you tried adjusting it?

I saw those before. That’s what happens when a very soft shadow mixes (it’s superimposed) with a sharp shadow.
I’m not sure there’s a solution for that. I think it’s a limitation of the shadow map. If you switch to raytrace shadow the problem is gone. But raytrace shadows have other types of problems. In my case they don’t work with foliage well.

Thanks! seems to be what the issue is.
