Is there a better plug-in that handles multi-layer EXRs than the EXtractoR plug-in? It's a little tedious to scroll through a messy looking list three times for the R, G, and B channel for each layer I want to use.
I only have to select a layer name once and it's smart enough to know that I want to use the R, G & B of everything with the same name. There's also less visual clutter in the Nuke pop-up menu.
We all know AE can render a layered PSD image, but is there a way to output a layered PSD image sequence? Maybe a script? How about multi-layer EXRs?

View 1 Replies View RelatedRunning OSX and CS2. Having trouble with file handling. I can take several hundred photographs a day in my job. Sometimes each image can require fine tuning.
This used to be fairly simple, in that when I activate an icon the image appeared. I would complete the adjustments and move onto the next image in the folder. "This is where the trouble begins". With the new system and CS2 everytime I go back to the holding folder, the previous selection has been ignored and the first file in the folder is the highlighted choice, despite the fact I might be on image 90. The program automatically defaults back to image one.
This is very frustrating in that I now have to keep a written track of the file number just completed so that I can scroll down to the next required file.
This cannot be the way that CS2 handles multiple files.
When managing images, I am found some difficulties on handling tags.
The main problem is that PSP is creating tags automatically to all images I have. It is especially undesirable because a plenty of images come from internet, fotolia etc and have tags I don't want. So, my "desirable" tags are mixing with the "undesirable".
a) I tried to find out in PSP "preferences" any option to stop tagging automatically. And I couldn't find it.
b) Other problem is to delete the tags I don't want. If I delete the tag in tags tree (manage/collection) it appears again. The only way I found is deleting tag by tag, image by image, what is madness of doing to a plenty of images.
Any way of deleting the "main" tag in order to delete automatically the related tag in each image?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible set a Default Folder for all "Save As" to be saved in?
I find that an edit of a photo will automatically save in the folder that I opened the shot from. If I had made a copy of the shot, the copy will save in a different folder.
Ideally, ANY AND ALL (originals and copies) "Save As" should be save in "c:Working" by default without having to go through the hassle of navigating there.

I have a student that has chosen to draw a baseball stadium as a project. He has inserted thousands of seats and has thousands more to insert but has already starting to experience some lag when viewing in 3D. Is there a way to handle all these seats so that it is less memory intensive? Does it work to group the elements?

View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have two related issues we're trying to solution.
(1) If we create a blank Photoshop file ("template") that is merely a size, resolution and color profile, when we add an image (that does contain metadata), the image's metadata is not retained in the template metadata. We need to be able to transfer that image's metadata, automatically, to the template. (We do not want to have to copy/paste.)
(2) Let's say we now have a template with 1 image and associated metadata. We now need to add another image(s) to this template and have the second image's metadata also transfer automatically. (This auto-transfer of metadata would occur for any subsequent image added.)We are using CS4 v11.0.2.
I'm just starting a new project. I've started the skin with a mesh fill. I'm wondering, what is the best way to handle the facial features. Vector blends etc or more individual mesh fills. If I do individual vector objects, what's the best way to blend features with the mesh skin?

I'd like to handle SelectEvents as a user selects edges for a filleting operation using the standard fillet creation dialog box. I'm unsure of how to access the InteractionEvents object that is created automatically by Inventor when the user opens the fillet creation window.
I know that there are ways to start my own interactive selection process via CommandManager.CreateInteractionEvents(), but I would like to tap into the existing selection workflow that's provided by the fillet creation window.
I am not a big fan of the entire way that Lightroom 4.0 hands changes at all and Adobe needs to address this problem because it is just that, an problem. We can use the catchy verbiage "non destructive" because it sounds nice but the fact is that it is cumbersome from a resource perspective and UI perspective. It adds extra steps to the workflow and this in turn takes away from the experience of users. The entire workflow should be reexamined and the code, rewritten.
Lets just look at how Picasa handles this issue. When I click "Save" or better yet "Save All", every picture that I have edited is saved with the changes that I have made to them. A new folder is then created and named "Originals" where I can find the original files that I have edited. That’s it. Plain and simple. My files are intact and I can now go and find them in my well-thought-out folder hierarchy where I can then do what ever I want from emailing to a client to sending them to Flicker, Facebook, Google+ Galleries, where ever I choose. There is no thought put into this process.
Adobe has a lot to learn from this free app. Currently, in Lightroom 4, I have to go back through the 300 pictures I just took, find the 40 that I have edited, then "Ctrl+Click" to select only them, find my folder in my file directory, create a new folder, and finally export a new set of pictures with the changes that I wanted to send out to my client 10 minutes ago.
Both processes achieve the same thing and the things that we all want which are our original files are still intact and untouched and our new files with the changes are in the folder where we found them. The difference is that Adobe chose a much less elegant way to go about this. More advanced? Yes, but sometimes, as and coder will tell you, simpler is faster, safer, and better.
Now, I also stated that from a resource perspective this is also poorly conceived. I am referring to the fact that now I have to maintain a database in which changes are tracked that is always running in the background. It is common knowledge that databases are susceptible to corruption when not properly managed and even the simplest snag in the application, power surge while an I/O process is running, or if my computer hangs up, all my changes are gone. What if I want to switch computers? Do I also need to manually go in several times a month and backup my database to a separate directory?
Will I lose all of my changes that I did not publish? Maybe, maybe not but it is now something else I have to worry about which ultimately takes away from my experience in the application.
Simpler is better and this is one step backwards, not forwards.At a minimum, give me the option to save the changes and don’t manage your users like a child.
Premiere Pro CC quits unexpectedly (serious error message) when importing footage. The formats I've tried and failed with include H.264, Prores422 and DNxHD.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm developing a routine that uses a windows form to gather data from the user. For a lot of this I need info for the Left side & the Right side. I have pretty much finished writing the code to take care of the Right side. I have 40 properties now all with "Right" in their names in anticipation of needing corresponding "Left" ones. I have numerous textboxes, checkboxes, & radio buttons on the form along with various input validation methods used to set these 40 properties.
I could just copy all of this code & replace "Right" with "Left", but there are about 500 lines of code (hard to tell since I use a lot of white space), and that seems rather inefficient, especially if something needs to change.
I'm starting to think that maybe I should develop this into one custom control that could be used for both sides. Any alternative ways of dealing 40 right properties & 40 left properties and all that goes behind making those properties work.
I've been trying to extract the logic behind Xara's handling of multi-stage blends, but am having trouble.
Here's an example. I have these objects:
and create a blend between the left two
now, to continue with a multi-stage blend, I connect the bottom control point of the second object with the bottom control point of the third
All well and good. However, if I had tried to connect the top point of the second object with the top point of the third, like this (screenshot taken just before I release the mouse button)
Xara decides to blend from the first object to the third.
Eventually, by trial and error, I can get my multi-stage blends working, but it's inscrutable why it works logically sometimes, and why not.

If you have many different elements and symbols for a project, what is the best practice for having them appear, disappear, etc. on the timeline? I ask this question not only from a performance based perspective, but also keeping in mind the idea of preloading. This is a 2 part question:
Part 1: Using elements and symbols later in the timeline:
Since artwork is always imported directly to the stage in an "always on" status, should we place a visibility OFF on every item until we need it?
or should they be opacity 0 until I need them?or should they be set to visibility hidden until I need them?
Which of these is the best option if you don't want the element / symbol visible until later in the timeline? Does it matter?
Part 2: Impact on page loading
Does the above question have any impact upon page loading speed or is this something handled in preloading?or do you need to make a special preloader?
understand the impact of the options “Save for Office” / “Copy for professional printing”.I am writing a thesis through Microsoft Word and I use a plenty of images. Normally, I handling the images in PSP and I insert it in Word through “insert picture from file”.
I realized PSP has the mentioned resources to handle images to Office applications. I intend to print Microsoft Word obtaining the best image quality of my pictures. Is “Save for Office” or “Copy for professional printing” worth using?
Many times I take images through PSP “screen capture”. So, if I use in PSP “Copy for professional printing” and paste in Word, will it improve the final document printing?
By default, the PDF print drivers we use (Bluebeam, PDF 995) set True Type text handling to be "as graphics" rather than "as text" (see below), which makes for some ugly text. I know I can make this change and save as a .PC3 file, but all our page setups for sheets & templates in the office all reference these default drivers, so it would be preferable to change the way the default driver works if possible. Is the default plotter configuration editable?

How do I get all but 3 layers which comprise the animated GIF to not go into the animated gif timeline on the bottom of the screen. I can only get this to work by turning off all the text and background layers. I need the timeline to just have 3 layers in it and only those layers move.
I think that "auto blend layers>panorama" is assumed to make panoramas from layers ... And, there is also "auto align layers" for making panoramas from layers.
I tried "auto blend layers>panorama" with an image and it can not make a panorama from the two layers trial image ... "auto align layers" can make a panorama easily from the same image.
So, I can see that there is a clear difference between the "auto align layers" and "auto blend layers>panorama" ...
But I could not understand the intention of designers of PS about the usage difference between the "auto align layers" and "auto blend layers>panorama"?
Why is it that when I save a file that has many, many layers to a PDF without layers as a copy that the file size is larger than flattening the layers and then saving the file as a copy to PDF? 19Mb vs. 5Mb??
