Loading Photoshop Files?

[emilianomorgia]

We are using photoshop files (.psd) for all of our static content since it supports transparency and allows our graphics designer to just grab an image and edit and stick it back in without any conversions.

.tif support layers and alpha channel

I did a quick search of the forum and found references that the max image size is 2048 x 2048

Actually it all depends on the GPU you are using , can be bigger 4096x2048 or it can be littler


what system are you using ?

Also what's the video projectors resolution ?

You cannot easily use raw photoshop files - the have an awful lot of proprietary information in them- this is private to adobe - abode creates a hidden layer just for preview in the file but transparency is not preserved in the preview layer-

convert to tif or png-

with transparency

for image size safety with graphics cards start with 2048x2048- and you need to test if you can do bigger- older machines cannot do bigger than this-
recent versions of catalyst will support up to 4096x2048 - but whether this works depends on your machines

also big files can take an awful long time to load.
