I am using Photoshop CS2. Unfortunatly hardly any tools are supported at 32 bit with CS2. I tried with a friend who had CS3 extended and most of the tools are avail at 32 bit, so I got a trial of CS3 but not the extended one and only some of the tools are supported much to my chagrin. As far as the adj layer idea, I though the whole problem was that the blending, compositing and paint operations mathmatically were created for use with Linear images. Doing stuff to them In Log space I thought caused odd side effects with the pixels themselves. So I dont know if working with an adjusment layer would actually help. Also I dont know how to create a Linear LUT offhand, would that be an S curve?

I am in 32 bpc and trying to render to a 16 bpc tiff ideally. 32 bpc files can be opened by Photoshop but no real work can be done on them for some reason. Selections, masking and cloning are only supported at 16 bpc. Although I have not tried a 32 bpc PSD, I tried with a 32bpc tiff and exr.

Well, we decided on making a staging storage space specifically for work that will pass through after effects users. All other users will have their own staging areas as well. A SAN will be the main form of connection between the staging area and AE users who will copy any material they need locally, render locally, and it will be retrieved later by coordinating operators. This is the easiest solution we could come up with without making any major refinments or outfitting a huge asset management system

So in a sense I am reliant on our bandwidth here to be able to cycle through frames in a comp that is comprised of footage imported from a server. There are no temp files created even momentarily for ram previews or renders? Just trying to make sure we have adequate equipment and drive space here.
