View 3 RepliesI work with OpenEXRs 3D renders alot. While they are usually lossless at 32bpc, there are options to save at lossy 24-bit float and lossy 16-bit float with drastically reduced file sizes.(Photoshop still opens them up as 32bpc)
How do these compare to Photoshop's 16bit color? (Which I'm assuming is 16-bit integer?)At 16-bit float, I'm throwing out half the color information, but I'd still have vastly more color information than 16-bit integer? When do I really need 32bpc float? And when is 16bpc float "good enough"?
Is there a way to have all my files open as "floating windows" (the way it used to be) every time I start photoshop and/or every time I open a new file? I do not like the new interface and every time I open a new file I have to go to that drop down button and click "float all in windows".

is there a way to make the setting under Arange float all in window the default I keep haveing to set this as I like to have abunch open at the same time?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe program seems to run fine except that I cannot move or float the panels. They move ever so slightly and lock in place when I attempt to drag them. The only way to get them back is to do a workspace reset.
I am running Vista 32 bit, Nvidia 8600gt, Intel core 2 duo 2.33hz, and 4gb ram.
I have the Production Suite CS4. I can move panels in every program but Photoshop.
I have reset the configuration folders, tried a selective startup in msconfig and reinstalling Production Suite.
How can I get "Arrange - Float all in window: " to be the default?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn CS5, you could have mulitple images open in tabs, and there would be no additioanal padding around the canvas area; the image would lock in place to the upper left.
Now in tabs in CS6, the canvas floats in space. Any way to have tabs and get rid of the space/padding?
This query is with regard to a Wire-removal/Touchup process in dealing with16Bit(half float) EXR files. Here is the process we adopted.
- Opened a 16Bit (Half float) Exr file in Photoshop, which showed it as 32Bit file
- Since the footage has lot of fire/blast elements among which we need to erase a "WIRE", we need to use "Healing Brush" which doesn't work on 32Bit files. When we tried to 'Convert' 32 Bit file to 16Bit file directly, we get a 'Washed Out' problem, since the shot is over exposed due to Fire/Blast elements in it. So here is a pipeline we used.
---- Added "Exposure" (Image > Adjustment > Exposure)
---- Set the "Exposure" to -5 (since it is a over-exposed frame, value -5 depends on exposure values of shots)
---- File > Export > Render Video (OpenExr output)
---- Open the above render file in photoshop
---- Convert to 16bit (Image > mode > 16bit)
---- Use any 16 bit tool for cloning (Eg. Healing tool)
---- Added "Exposure" (Image > Adjustment > Exposure)
---- Set the "Exposure" to +5 (Reversing)
---- Convert to 32bit (Image > Mode > 32Bit)
---- File > Export > Render Video (OpenExr output)
After rendering out, we checked the "original footage" with the "output exr" and apart from the Touch-up (wire removal) portion, all other details remain the same. Since this is a high-end hollywood project, (professionals) confirm whether this process is safe.
During the process we found a bug that this process only works, when we render whole footage, meaning if we try single frame, then there seems to be a slight color difference only in the overexposed area.
When we opened the client input EXR file, under Nuke it shows as "16 Bit (Half float)" but the same when opened under photoshop it shows as 32 Bit file.
controlling a bitmap's tiling amount with a Bezier Float node in the slate material editor.
If I link a bezier float controller to the tile size of a normal bitmap (non real-world scale) it works as expected, i.e. if I set it to 4, then the bitmap tiles 4 times.
However if I link the float controller to a bitmap set to real-world scale, then it seems to work in reverse. i.e. if I set the float controller to 5, then the UV size appears as 0.005m, and if I set the bezier float controller to 0.005, then the UV scale size is set to 5.0m.
It seams as though in the second example MAX is taking the bezier float value, using it as a tile amount, then just for display purposes it converts it to a real-world size. I can work with it now that I know what it is doing, but it is a little unintuitive.
I have learned basic skills with VS x4, and made a couple of videos with animated stills, and voice overlay, but I want to do something more sophisicated now. I'd like to have either a still or video background, with objects (images or text) "orbitting" over it, that is floating across the screen in a smooth trajectory. Is that possible to do inside VS without a camcorder or other handheld? If so, can you give me a brief description of where to look in the menus, what to do, and I'll work on it from there. I assume it will involve some superimposed tracks. But how can I create objects moving along a smooth path?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have somehow managed to get the tool settings in Maya 2011 to be "floating" in its own panel. I don't know what I did that made that happen, nor what to do so the panel won't be "floating" anymore.
I know it must be something simple to fix, i'm just not sure how to fix it.
I have attached an image to try to show what I meant by "floating" tool settings in Maya 2011.
have a question regarding audio float on an object:
some objects react from a certain point with sound by just using a simple box in height for an example...it grows in the height from bottom start point...but if i use the width the movement is going into 2 directions instead of 1 ...i tried to move the pivot but it has no effect....is there a way to tell the reaction he has an another start point ?
I would like to modify the 16-bit Float EXR compression for my Framestore / Media Storage. What is the syntax? I would like to use 16 bit half with Zip16 (16 scanlines).
I am currently using "floatVideo=EXR:ZIPS:16" and several variations with no success.

I wish to limit the user input of and edittext to only allow a positive number, float or int. I do not yet know my Regex good enough to do this. I realize that I must get better at regex but in the meantime how to do this ?
I have used this so far on the edittext:
function checkTextInput()
{
if (this.text.match(/[^0-9.]/g))
{
this.text = this.text.replace(/[^0-9.]/g, "");
}
}
Which matches
000.0001
0.45.000.1
...1
which is not desired.
Desired is

Ive been using CS3 for ages, and have just gone on to CS4. I finally worked out how to open a new document and "float all in windows" (from the arrange documents box on the tool bar. However, I have to select it from the box for every new photo I open. Is there a way of telling it to open each new photo in "Float all in windows" automatically?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using CS6 and noticed that whenever I delete a layer that was a dupe of another layer with links (although not linked specifically to the deleted layer), the undeleted original layers become invisible on the canvas even though they are still visible in the layers pallette. I've been able to recreate this several times. Nothing I do will make the layers visible -I've tried moving them all to the top of the layers palette, making sure their opacity is 100%, making sure there are no layer effects, etc.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI often will copy a layer in the layers palette via option drag. If the original layer is linked to another, the new layer is also linked to the orginal layer I copied as well as any other layers that original was linked to.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to Apply adjustment layers to multiple layers that have different blending modes and keep the colors the same as the adjustment done?
I work in Animation painting Backgrounds. My files are sometimes upwards to 200+ layers.I will use adjustment layers to quickly balance colours and constrast on top of those many many layers.
The only way that I know of how to apply adjustment layers it to every single layer ( by applying I mean I need to get rid of the adjustment layers because we cant use them in production but i need the new colours be applied to all layers underneath ) in a psd is to manually do it By duplicating the adjusment layer 200+ times and then merging each layer to one of those adjustment layers so that that layer can take the adjustment layers effect permanently.
The issue is that Within Those 200 layers I have some layers set to Multiply or OVERLAY. IT obviously wont apply the adjustment layer properly to those layers because those layer blend mode affect the layers under them. The colour wont be the same anymore in the spots that had the multiply blended mode.

I have 2 adjustment layers up top. I need to get rid of them by applying them to each layer! I cannot merge any of the layers. We need all those layers for production.I can apply the adjustment layers manually and this works GREAT for all Layers set to normal. THey take on the colour change just FINE.
However, The issue is that layer 6 and layer 4 are both set to mutiply and this screws up the colour once i apply the adjustment layers to each layer manually...
How can i apply my adjustment layers to a file like this with some layers being set to multiply while keeping the layers exactly the same configuration and The new colour taking effect exactly how i looks before i apply the adjustment layers? Now the simple solution is to merge the multiply layers to the layer that it affects HOWEVER I NEED those multiply layers to be separate!
I want to add the same 3 adjustment layers to about 20 photos and then in scripts, export layers to files, so that each photo includes the adjustments.

How to merge adjustment layers to hundreds of layers?
Jul 28, 2010 10:38 AMSay I have a photoshop File with 100 layers.
And say I created 3 adjustment layers on top of those 100 layers to get the adjustments that i want for those layers. I'm happy with the adjustments but Then I NEED to merge those 3 adjustment layers to ALL those 100 layers.
Is there a way to easily permanently apply the adjustments to each of those layers without having to do it manually? I absolutely need to merge the adjustments to the seperate layers because of how the layers are being used in a seperate 3d program.
So far what I've been doing is duplicating the adjustment layers for each layer and merging them to said layers separately.. I wish I could just right click the adjustment layer and Tell it to merge to everylayer it affects or apply to every layer underneath it!
I am loosing all my layers effects when I merge all the layers together to save the image in the tif format!
