Photoshop files not displaying in Motion 5

[Matt Wallace]

Yep, I know it looks fine when you convert it to RGB in Photoshop. That’s not the problem.
The problem, is when you import it into Motion. It completely knackers the quality, and I can’t work out why.
Can’t think that it would be a graphics card issue because it’s never been a problem before….. ?

It looks great in Motion. Be sure to set your settings to BEST. Take a look at it in Motion:

I’m using Motion 5, but that shouldn’t matter.
What version of photoshop are you using to export the psd?

[Stephen Smith]

I’m on the newest version, CS6.

To make it RGB I went to Image, Mode, RGB Color.

I’m using CS5 – but exactly the same process as you’ve described there.
What about when you first open the jpg with Photoshop? What option do you select for the assigning a profile?

[Stephen Smith]

I just imported it, changed it to RGB and that is it.
