Layered Image Editor

Patroklos

Hi, how do I access the LIE?

I have selected the mat.

I go to the surfaces tab

I click the little image under Base Colour, there is an Image Editor, but no Layered Image Editor.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Have you entered your DS4 pro serial number?

Patroklos

It had asked me about that on startup - now done it and it worked - thanks!

BTW, I can change the opacity of the layer, but not the colour, is it possible?

 

Richard Haseltine

Theer should be an opacity control, yes, which should not affect the colour of the layer (but of course lowering the opacity will mix in some of the underlying colour).

I would like to change the colour shade

 

Richard Haseltine

Sorry, I misread. There should be a colour picker bar, just as in the Surfaces pane, whick multiplies with the map (if any).

Patroklos

Yes, its odd, but selecting - say - red, does not appear to change the colour!

Richard Haseltine

In the editor, in DS preview, or in render?

Patroklos

Ok, I open the layered Image Editor, select the image I want to change.beneath this I have - Layer, Opacity, Resource. This I have a colour panep set to black 0-0-0. I can change this to any colour,but nothing happens to the surface selected.

Richard Haseltine

Are you adding a new layer or editing the existing image, which you could do by adjusting the colour bar in the surfaces pane directly? The Viewport won't update until you click the Accept button.

OK, I will try again when my render is finished, thanks for help
