we created a heavy file (1.14GB) with many masks. and now they seemingly developed a life of their own: they look like big cubes or pixels. and this transforms/destroys the whole picture. what can we do to save the file.
View 8 RepliesIn CS3, there was an 'export to pdf' which just converted the PSD to PDF.
Now in CS4, the option is under 'save as'. The problem is when I am doing a job and want to get approval, I like to generate a low res PDF WITHOUT the option of 'preserving photoshop editing capabilities'. Otherwise, I get aa huge file.
The problem is, the document in Photoshop is now a PDF and although the layers are still showing in the layers pallet, if at that point, I do any more editing or just try to save it as a PSD, the image is automatically flattened, without any warning. I managed to lose all my work by saving AFTER I created the small PDF.
why has adobe chosen to change the working document to PDF? If I save as a jpg, the document remains as a PSD file. This is very frustrating. I much prefer the export to
PDF in the CS3 version.
If CS4 is doing this, it should at least generate a warning that all layers will be merged at that time.
I have been trying to do a software box.
Photoshop has a transform that will scale and distort.
I can't find anything like that in paint.net.
Have I missed it in the plugins?
I have a texture for an object that will be rendered. The RGB for the texture contains diffuse color, and the Alpha channel contains a special parameter for the shader. The value for the parameter is 0 for 99% of the pixels.
In my XCF I have diffuse color on one layer, and the special parameter on another layer (as a greyscale).
So I copy the diffuse layer and call the copy Final. Then I create a layer mask on the parameter layer using the greyscale value. I copy the layer mask from the param layer to the Final layer, and then I apply the layer mask to Final, which should simply write the mask to alpha.
I look at the channels window to be sure, and alpha is written correctly, BUT everywhere that alpha is black THE OTHER THREE CHANNELS ARE ALSO BLACK! I can't fix this! What do I do? I even tried exporting to see if it carries through to the output image, and it does!
What's more, I tried to trick it by putting a very low value (like 1/2) in the pixels that are supposed to be 0 in alpha, and then I get an even weirder effect, wherein most of the color is kept, but some pixels color information is trashed anyway. Is there an export mode which will tell GIMP not to trash the color information on fully transparent pixels? Or better yet, can I tell it that alpha is not transparency?
Everytime i switch project files for any reason, Inventors response time to anything gets to the point i have to close the program and open it back up. After the program restart I'm able to use it again, but then when I have to change project files it does the same thing again. It's wasting a lot of time for me and I'd rather not format and reinstall everything.
View 2 Replies View RelatedLet say I create a sphere and under Channel / Layer Editor tab, I right click on the pSphere1 and it gives me the option to Freeze my object reseting everything to 0,0,0.
I would like to have this function in my own Custom tab. But since I can't find it under anywhere in Maya menu.
I notice that Nulls have a collapse transform switch. Just trying to imagine when this would be useful. Something related to the nifty "Scale Z" precomp trick, maybe?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to get similar transforms with rotate and translate as I get it with the Transfommation Effect on multiple copies. But somehow the rotation of the Filter puts a different transform than doing it with rotation in js. With js the copies get rotated around a center, that is on the same level for all objects. With the filter the translations seem to have an different origin/direction. I dont get the logic how to get the same output with js.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to throw a screen shot up onto a TV model to make my rendering more fun and I can't get it to work right!!!
I duplicated one of the standard plastic materials in Revit's lib and replaced the color with a cutom image (first tried jpg then png). I had to tweak the transforms to get it to fit the screen. Looks great in the camera view but when I render the transforms are off.
Here are some images to illustrate the issue.
I bought the lightroom 3 cd and installed it. When I downloaded the 3.6 update and tried to install it, I got this error message : Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid. Ive tried uninstalling the 3.2 version and then installing the 3.6 version, but that didnt work either.
View 8 Replies View RelatedSo, when I reset the transforms of an object, it moves the geometry back to the frozen position but the pivot point gets places at the world origin.
That can't possibly be what is supposed to happen, is it?
I'm creating a flow chart/decision tree. I am animating the position of a diagram on the stage when a user selects yes or no in answer to a series of questions.
I've split up each diagram movement on the stage timeline as labels. I've staggered these transforms as keyframes on the same layer/track. The issue I'm having is when I manipulate the position of my diagram by moving it on the stage it affects adjacent transforms. I have my transforms seperated with a 1/10 second gap becuase I thought this would split the timeline up but it appears not!
While I can edit the transforms manually by typing in xy co-ordinates it would be ten times faster to move the diagram on the stage instead and not overwrite adjacent transforms.
How do I restrict the transform to the two keyframe points I am concerned with?
I have a block containing several parts blocks. When I explode the main block all of the parts are exploded back to lines. I have used both "explode" and "xplode" and have the same results. How can I explode so I have my components as blocks?

I'm trying to layer them all on top of each other.
When I copy one partially transparent GIF and paste it on to the second partially transparent GIF the transparent section turns white and is no longer transparent.
Therefore covering up the contents of the prior GIF.
In short, please have a look at the three attached pictures, I would like to have all three on top of each other showing all buttons.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have several pictures. Each "pair of picture" shows the same person on the same background/perspective/settings (using a tripod) -- but with the person on a different position.Now I want to crop these pairs of pictures. Now I am recording my cropping of the first picture as an action and repeat the same step via this action on the second picture.
But it is possible eg to record my cropping via a shortcut and execute the cropping with another shortcut to the next picture (the "next actually opened" picture) just to do this faster?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI used to use MediaStudio Pro to create picture in picture especially where the picture starts small and grows to cover the entire background video clip.
I looked for and found a video filter which I thought would allow me to do the same. However after viewing the 'help' for the filter and trying just about everything I could think of I cannot achieve what I want to do if start with a video clip and then have another video clip appear (very small) in one area of the background video and then slowly grow larger to eventually cover the background video clip.
I can make the picture in picture appear and grow larger but it covers the entire background video clip with black effectively covering it no matter what size my picture in picture is. I looked for a chroma key to cover the black out but could not find it.
