Then again you could use the Red Eye removal tool! It is lives within the healing brush tool drop down. Search the Help File.

Apologies for confusion. I thought you were exporting. Funnily enough, I had totally forgotten the tick box and must have ticked it on day one and erased it from my memory cell :unsure:

Sadly it's a current limitation otherwise known as a PIA :(

An extremely interesting read and very similar to occasional threads in my world of pro-video. Respectfully I would make the following points: If you are a professional you need the tools that do the job. If AP, which is still not at vers 2, doesn't cut it for you then you need to stay with PS until it does. Whilst I have basic requirements from a graphic/photo software, AP is still missing the features I use and need, i.e. re-editing text in psd, layer comps and related scripts, aspect ratio...my AP is on my laptop for "domestic" use and not on my edit systems. I will review updates as they arrive but as I am on a pre CC version it's no big deal. IF I needed features to do my work only available from CC then that would be the tool I would use. Back in my world, I edit with GV Edius and dabble with Resolve. On the GV forum often missing features will be flagged. Well if Premiere or FCP or Avid has features you need to do your work, then you need to make a decision. I can edit and deliver TV Commercials, or 10 camera live shows and all things in between - if I couldn't I would use something else. Yes there maybe features that would be "nice" but if they were game changers, I would be using something else. Ironically, GV made a very bold decision in 2015 giving a 2 year roadmap for Edius, which in fairness they have kept on track. So for me AP is great but not yet for my work.

After some playing I concur that if the offset is too small, the result appears to look like an Outer Glow...so increase the offset and I can go to bed ;)

It's shadow and as such it is adjusted by the angle. i.e. Changing it to 135 will move the shadow to left and top.

You mean it's not a car crash repair app. :blink:

Some people have way too much time on their hands :rolleyes: ...Jamon FYI as you may have missed it, this is an AFFINITY forum. It is a bit of a bummer with all this talk of graphic software and not a mention of how to cook Duck Chinese Style but that's the way it is. ;)

I had hoped you might have had some informed responses. With video, we tend to "grade" (posh term for "fix it in post" -JOKE) starting with the luma and getting black and white levels "correct" and then working on colour, sometimes working with a matte on a selective colour. So I too would like to see an experts approach.

If you are using Photo then either start the project with Transparent background ticked, or on an existing project then Document/Transparent Background - I dont use Designer so not sure how different that behaves.

Are you using a transparent layer as the Background? Works fine with tiff or psd

Unless I have misunderstood, it works fine. Remember to deselect by clicking outside the marque and also to make the second cut out from the correct SINGLE layer.

Have I missed a tab to change the PAR? For SD DVD 16x9 menus and graphics it is usual to use 720x576 with a PAR of 1.42 although of course the workaround is to use 1:1 and change the document size to 1024x576. Fortunately HD is 1:1.

I'm using AP. Hadn't considered a macro but not sure how that could be employed on different batches of "snapshots" ...but the Adobe script manages to do it, so must be worth a try. I have used Macros in P/S so it is worth a try.

Thank you for your reply. Snapshots are certainly the equivalent of Layer comps. (half the story) Having got 6 snapshots what I now need to do is produce a set of the 6 individual files. It would seem I can make individual documents and then save each one - tedious. The P/S script runs all the layer comps (snapshots) to a set of files to a chosen save location with one click.

One of the most useful features I use in Photoshop is Layer comps. As a Video Producer, often title graphics will be designed, by a graphic designer as part of the brand. Layer comps gives the opportunity to isolate the layers, from the supplied psd and with the additional script "layer comps to files" run out a set of files to one location with one click. These files can then be composited to produce an animated title.
