editing the opacity masks on a mac
Posted: 19.07.2006 05:25
just downloaded the sample version the other night on advice of another person whos photostacked (but is pc and used a different program). am running it for the first time to see if i'd like to buy it. i had trouble keeping my images perfectly lined up as i'm doing handheld. anyhow, even after messing with the parameters i am getting a halo from one of the images, and would like to edit the opacity mask, but when i click edit mask it says 'no image editor set, please select one'. i have no idea where to get this. i am on a mac- does that mean this part of the function doesn't work b/c it's part of heli filter? because frankly that would suck. i agree with other posters that an awful lot of graphics type people work on macs an only supporting them halfway doesn't make much sense. i am a professional retoucher and i can think of many applications i could use this for, and many people (photographers i work with) i could tell about it, but if it has limited functionality with macs i won't because it would just be a frustration since we all work on macs.
i thought i would be able to bring the stacked image into photoshop in layers, but i guess i was wrong. did i miss something, or is that something you'd consider in the future? to me, that would be wonderful - the program would do most of the work for me, but allow me the ultimate control and flexibility in lining things up and editing the opacity masks in photoshop.
the software sems like it works wonders if you get your images just right... i'll have to try it with another set.
oh, and are you going to add raw functionality with the canon raw- .crw? because it isn't letting me use my raw files now. i shoot with the older digital rebel.
thanks for any & all help! tammy kennedy
