  Problems with “picking up color” …

  Posted by Dennis Fassbaender on April 12, 2008 at 10:45 am

  Hi there.
  I have a problem picking up colors from a layer.
  When i´ve loaded an image- or video file as the layers background and use an emitter (any effect) i whant to correct the colors from this emitter.
  I right-click on the emitter (in the left frame) and click on properties.
  Now the properties-dialog opens.

  Well- now HERE IS MY PROBLEM:
  I whant to pick up some colors from my image from the area where the property-window is placed over. So i “hold” the property-window to move it away from the place of my BG-image to pick-up the color under the windows – BUT:
  that doens´t work. The area where the property-window was is just black! Everywhere i move this window to the background becomes black and i cant see the background image until i close the property-windows.
  What can i do to pickup the colors under the properties-dialog?

  My Hardware:
  P4-3GHz
  1GB-RAM
  Asus-Board
  GForce 7300 GT

  Greets, Dennis

  Maybe if you switch to software rendering?

  Or just render a single frame of the stage and open that in another app and grab from that? Or do a screengrab?

  Not sure.

  I took some shots for you- so you can see what/when is the problem.
  You can see my settings there, too.
  Here are the shots:
