How good is LR's ND filter function? Can it replace a physical ND filter? Once you blow highlight, I doubt any software can recover to a decent degree. What are the limitations of LR's ND filter function then?
View 3 RepliesIn older versions of Photoshop there was a very beautiful filter - low pass.
It could make blurry effect to picture. I liked so much to use it on my nature photos.
It was situated in Filters --> Sharpen (if i don`t mistake)
Where is it now? Why it`s not present in new versions of Photoshop (CS and CS2 don`t have it)?
In Lightroom 4, I need to figure out how large a photo can print and still keep good resolution. I .e., I want to print a photo at 20x30" and I need to know ahead of time that it will look good printed at that size.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI immediately "imported " my pictures to my Catalog. As I began to read and view the tutorials, I realized that this was probably premature and so I "removed" the pictures. Somehow, in this process, I also removed the menu bar "catalog" from the left side of the screen (now it just shows "folders"). How do I reinstate the Menu bar "Catalog"?
When I eventually imported my pictures again, there were now duplicates of every picture and many pictures have several duplicates. What is the best way to remove duplicates rom Lightroom? Also, I checked "My Pictures" on my PC and all these duplicates are there, as well.
I had the hard drive replaced on my mac. I did a restore from back up drive to my new hard drive. First LR4 couldn't find the catalog so I pointed to it. Then I opened lightroom 4 and it cannot see ANY of my photos. I don't want to link each folder full of photos it will take hours. Isn't there another way to do this so it finds them all at once? Photos are still located in the same location on the new hard drive after restore. Nothing changed except the hard drive.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have about 50 images in a LR3 catalog. I modified all the metadata for each. They are all jpegs and were pre-processed by a specialized image editing program before import. I now find I have to replace all 50 with new versions. I really don't want to re-do all the metadata. Is there any way to have LR overwrite the originals leaving the original metadata intact? The file names are the same.

I have attached three images from a job that i am working on at the moment. The sky looks really good but the dark gray looks pretty grim. If there is a way to make this gray area look like the sea?
I am rendering still images of construction stages. I am using a daylight system and i am wondering if its possible to change the mr physical sky to my own photo.
The images are of an oil rig so the photo is a very simple view of the sea with the horizon off in the distance so is very similar to the mr physical sky just more realistic.

Is there a cloud feature in Inventor for drawings, or is that something that can only be done in Autocad Mechanical and Mechanical Desktop?
I have recently made a bucket for chain (linked) and was looking to put the chain in the bucket for visual purposes and to see if the capacity of the bucket is correct.
I can get the chain linked together, however when rotated round it passes through another piece of chain.
Is there a way in inventor to tell a part/assembly of it’s physical/mass properties? I know you can make something mild steel and get weight etc, however if not constrained it still passes through as if it’s a ghost.
It appears Max has no native way to match a physical tilt-shift lens like Maya, Modo, etc.?
I have a scene where I need to match the tilt-shift from a physical camera. I received photo tests, one with the camera pitched and without tilt-shift correction, and another with the tilt-shift lens used to correct the issue.
Using Modo I matched the virtual cameras to the physical camera during the design phase. Using Modo's Film Offset Y setting, I was able to put in the precise tilt-shift settings from the photographer to get a match.
Now in Max/V-Ray, I imported the Modo camera, made the necessary adjustments while establishing a vray camera and matched the camera without tilt-shift.
But I cannot match the tilt-shift corrected lens since V-Ray corrects the tilt-shift without altering the perspective like a real tilt-shift lens does. So the V-Ray camera vertical shift feature works great until you're trying to simulate a real tilt-shift lens.
Max's native camera doesn't support this either. Yet I was able to replicate the modo & real camera setup within minutes using the Maya camera.
I recently watch a movie with a couple of dinosaur characters fighting each other, and now I wonder: dealing with a lot of potential geometry interpenetration scenarios?
How do you deal with characters physically interacting with each other, as in two characters fighting, or hugging? Do you know if there is any nice tutorial covering that subject? I do not mean about clothing. That's a matter of dynamics and simulation.
regarding characters interacting with objects. Imagine a human character lifting a huge heavy barrel. The arms around that barrel should look like pressing against it. Or a person stepping up an extension ladder.
Each time that I go into my Photoshop Elements 8 it causes a physical dump and shuts down. I have only used this program a few times although I have had it a few years. The first couple of times it worked fine; but now, it shuts me down each time. I have already tried uninstall and reinstall.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have some issues with the notation for physical properties in the Inventor 2013 material editor.
Instead of displaying the obvious first choice metric SI notation kg/m^3 or something similar it display a self made? and awkward N*s^2/mm^4. I don't want this notation. How can I change to something more user friendly? It can be a bit hard to distinguish if a material have 0.00000000001 N*s^2/mm^4 or 0.0000000001 N*s^2/mm^4.
The document properties "units" folder have mm, seconds, degree and kilogram as default.
I'm trying to add some material properties to a STP or IGES file I've received from a customer (in Inventor 2011). Is there any way to add a density for example, so I can obtain the mass of the model? I've tried doing it through the iProperties menu but it's not giving me a mass.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe recently moved from Inventor 2010 to 2013. Since then we have been having alot of lag problems. One major problem we have found that is giving us lag is our RAM usage. Inventor continually steals more and more ram until its starts to lag out. When I open a large assembly inventor goes from useing 1.2 GB to 4 GB of ram. When I close the assembly the RAM usage stays at 4 GB. If I open another assembly it just builds onto that and can go up to 6 GB before it starts lagging badly. Closing inventor dumps the physical memory.

I have opened Photoshop (7.0) I get a message on the lines of: -
You currently have Photoshop's Primary Scratch & Windows paging file on the same volume which can result in reduced performance.
It recommends that I should set the primary scratch volume to a different Physical Drive.
I have looked at my preferences which I havent changed (not intentionally anyway) and the First Choice is set as Startup and the others have nothing set. I only have my C drive and am unsure how to Zone another area for a second choice. Is it as simple as setting a folder somewhere on the drive. (I have 14Gb free).
When I duplicate the Material in the Material Browser all appearance and Physical properties are duplicated too.
So I must accept or assign the new unique names for appearance and Physical purposes of Material.
In my case I need, for example, the same Material with different appearance, for example knurled and regular.
I cannot save the new Material with existing Physical properties name and it makes unwanted copies like Steel(1), Steel(2) in Assets.
After I made a copy I can reassign the Physical properties back to existing but it takes a time of replacing assets and deleting unwanted copies.
Is it possible to make a copy within the same Physical Assets?
How do I set a constraint where 2 parts are attached to each other but do not phase through. For example if I have a door in a door frame, how do I add a constraint where the door can swing on it's hinges but get stopped by the door frame.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure something out, and it seems like it SHOULD be a simple thing... but I haven't been able to find the answer. I'm importing an avi file (from Poser 9) into AE 5.5. The dimensions are 1200x900. There need to be 48 copies of the avi movie running at the same time behind a mask made of circles on a grid. (If you've ever seen the Coca-Cola commercials from the 90's where all the disks had animations on them, "La la la lala, always Coca-Cola..." think of that design.) The problem is that each copy of the avi needs to be 150x150 in order for it to work.
how to reduce the FILE size, not the literal physical dimensions of the movie clip.
I have an image that I want to use in a video, though it is not physically large enough to fill the 1920 x 1080 dimensions of the video, though it has a 300ppi resolution and video only needs 72ppi. How do I take advantage of the fact that it is high resolution image, and increase the physical dimensions of the image? Is there a way to do this?.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI bought a new iMAC, a 21.5", 2.7 GHz one with 12 GBytes RAM. My intuos 4, when using Photoshop CS6, works on and off. I mean, when I am painting with the finger tool for instance, and more often than not, I try to make the strokes but the damn finger brush cursor won't move on the screen until a couple of seconds had passed.
In other words, there's a very annoying delay between the physical stroke on the tablet and the brush moving on the screen, it's not simultaneous as it ought to be. And I have installed the latest driver of Wacom for this model!!! This never happened before with the older iMAC, 2.4 GHz and 4 GBytes RAM. I mean, it should work even better.

View 5 Replies View RelatedInventor seems to do lots to allow for simulated appearance textures. However, how does one use actual physical textures, e.g. for a plastic part? I need one surface of the plastic part to be very rough/bumpy, another to be slightly rough/bumpy, and another to remain smooth/untouched.
Let me be forthright and say I have no background here in textures/plastics/molds etc.,
Al my projects, settings and templates use the Metric system.
When i open the material physical properties i see the Imperial System.
How can i change this ?
