Steve, >>Yes, this technique will produce a 32 bit image, this is only useful when when using QT..<< Yes, BUT, (for stills work) I can save a one frame QuickTime movie, open the movie in simple player (or any other player app), copy the frame and paste it into photoshop. The areas can be used to create an alpha channel, which can then be used for compositing. Also Cosa After Effects will use the alpha channel info. I can then composite with other images and save as a pict file (for stills). So, for me, this has enabled me to do what I need, so far…<g> Jim Jonah p.s. The new demo tape is awesome!! Just love Rod's Talking Head and the Balls & Blocks (of the stuff that was from before is excellent too.) How about a training tape for Rod's techniques and one for the interaction of the Block and the Ball that trys to help it?
