[SOLVED] Photoshop Tiff and Alpha channel
Posted: Mon May 23, 2016 8:40 pm
Hi guys! I've a problem with Photoshop CC 2015 and Octane v2.25-R4 c4d plugin.
First i try to search on this forum but without luck, and of course on octane pdf but don't speak to much on alpha channels. So...
I try a make a simple texture, essentially is a white background and some text in black, and want to use as a alpha channel for doing stuff on octane node manager.
Now.. i need to make the text as alpha, i have tried exporting in .png format without the alpha channel, and octane recognize alpha channel of the .png but when i switch the mode to float or normal it make rectangular boxes around the text??? And this is a second issue.
The first issue is i can't make a tif with alpha and let octane recognize it as an alpha image.
The workflow is:
Photoshop, White background, black text, then select the text and save as an alpha channel, save in .tif format without layers, and with export alpha channel checked. (Grey/8).
Then when i import the image in octane and switch the mode to alpha it simply doesn't work.
(I don't have provided any screenshoot for time-saving, but if u think is useful i can post it.)
Thanks guy, hope anyone can help me with this little issue.
