I have no idea what a Fiery is, so I can only asume that this is the slow link. Can you attach the printer directly to your machine? That would tell you for sure.
I maybe wrong, but I seem to remember having all sorts of problems getting an image out of a Quark file, the export always seemd to output a preview. This was quite a few years ago now. It was also more of a Quark thing rather than a photoshop thing.
Polarised glasses work only with polarised light, so you have to does this the procjector end (you can't use monitors for this effect).
The way I've seen it done, is by putting a sheet of polarised film infront of two projector guns pointing at the same screen. One film is rotated 90 degrees on...
Your machine seems to have the balls to do the job, but 15-20 mins seems forever. Is this via a network print, ie through a server? Have you tried printing directly from machine to printer?
The good thing about Afx, is that when you draw a mask, you can animate it every say 5 frames, moving the nodes, cutting your work down in photoshop by 5. So Afx is the way to go, it's just rather you than me :grin:
Tbh, I tend to edit blocks of animation (with tails) in a video editor to the music. Afx is useless with real time audio. If I need to be clever with transition or lining up, I'll re-import the projectt back into Afx and then swap out the rendered clips with the original comps.
If you have...
Does the guy's jacket have a distinct colour in the original footage?
Because you could adjust this unique colour to what ever you want.
Using masks over 30 seconds, 25frames/sec, will be a nightmare, unless you can soft edge an approximate area.
I agree with Picklefish, that does look like spherize by the way the pixels break up a little.
On a new layer, draw a rectangle across the top in the same grey, almost like a titlebar, then type your "racecar" text. Link the text layer to you title bar, combine linked (top right hand arrow in...
Thanks bkrike, I originally came to this site to sort out a hardware issue I had, which I've not been able to sort out yet due to time constraints. But I've been working with Photoshop since version3 and I'm always learning new ways of doing things. What goes around comes around.
Cheers
If you have the selection, I'd take the quilt into a new layer, then create a mask from your selection (use the mask button in your layers window.
Then select the mask window in your quilt layer, then use a black front colour, with edit/stroke on say 2pixels centred, this will then trim about 1...
I'd honestly re-draw it in illustrator. If you try to use the magic wand, you'll pick up the white in the half tone. Also the resolution is crap, I would find this artwork almost unuseable, unless I was shrinking it to say an eighth of it's size, but even then.....
Sorry chap, you would get far...
Are you using the serial port to connect to the printer? USB or Lan is far quicker to transmit.
Also more ram in you printer may help, but it doesn't seem that the print speed is the issue.
What you want to do, is create an adjustment layer in your layers window, (just like a new normal layer, but using the adjustment button instead, which is next to new layer button). Apply gausian blur to this adjustment layer. This will blur anything underneath this layer.
Now, for the time...
You could set up an 'action' (record your edits) on a lower rez image, then apply that action to your larger artwork. This will only work with image filters applied to the whole canvas, selections/text/etc won't translate up.
Select your border with the selection tool (box/circle/polygone/magic wand), then invert your selection, feather selection, apply effect.
Also, you can set an adjustment layer, then apply a mask to that, then apply your blur effect. Anything underneath this 'adjustment layer' will blur, which...
Just to add to bkrike's re dpi settings, make sure you turn off the re-sample image check box, otherwise you'll change the pixel height/width of your image. Make sure the only boxes that are linked, are the print size boxes.
You can also scale text through the edit/transform/scale, without any...
Thanks all for the advice so far, the only thing I haven't done is replace the power supply, which won't be a problem as I have several of the same cases, so thanks, I'll try that tomorrow. (as an aside, there are quite a few drives attached to the PSU, as well as the Gfx card).
Thinking about...
