  • Problems with “picking up color” …

    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:

    Let me know if you need more informations.

    Greets,
