  The identification of the intermediate-mass Higgs process $\gamma \gamma
\rightarrow H \rightarrow b\overline{b}$ will be one of the most important
goals of a future photon linear collider. Backgrounds from the continuum
$\gamma \gamma \rightarrow c\overline{c}, b\overline{b}$ leading-order
processes can be suppressed by using polarized photon beams in the $J_z = 0$
initial-state. The radiative processes $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow c\overline{c}
g, b\overline{b} g$ can mimic the two-jet topology of the Higgs signal and
provide the dominant background in the $J_z = 0$ channel. Particularly
problematic is the $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow c\overline{c} g \rightarrow 2$
jets process. The effects of imposing additional cuts are investigated and it
is shown that the radiative background could be reduced to a manageable level.
