Where does one find the 7.6.2 version? Apple slipped 7.6.4 in on me before I became aware of an issue in Vegas.

Really? So, if I copy the CR2 file (Canon) and the XMP file which contains my raw settings (like exposure or color temperature) to a Mac, the raw processor on the Mac will use the settings in the XMP file? Do I copy both files to the same folder on a Mac?
I do know that the CR2 file can be processed on the Mac, but I was not aware that the XMP file can be transferred and used as well.

You need to supply more information. Your image is not all that large. If my calculations are correct, my camera shoots almost as large as your image. So, what computer, what OS, CPU speed, etc.? What other programs are running with photoshop? What bit depth? How many layers? How many and how fast are the hard drives? Where is photoshop going with temporary files?

Things would go much faster with high key lighting when you shoot the photo. The usual way is a uniformly lit white background which is brighter (by about one stop) than the foreground. That allows the background to be selected and removed. You can then decide in Photoshop how much stray hair detail is necessary.

For the basic image files like PSD, TIFF, JPEG, etc., there is no difference between the two operating systems. I do all of my work in Windows, and sometimes take it do a Mac for printing or in-class display.
The only area I know of where the files may not transfer is when raw formats are processed. A small additional file is created which contains the raw settings. I have never tried to transfer that.

Unless I am misunderstanding, each image in a moving time lapse will make the same pan motion. First, an edge of the image will appear at the right or left side of the screen. Then it will pan until it disappears. Each one will have the same pan. The trick is spacing them properly on the time line.

Nothing special is needed. Open up Pan/Crop for each image. Be sure that the Maintain Aspect Ratio setting is yes. Right click within the “F” symbol in Pan/Crop, and click on “Maintain Output Aspect”. That should do it.
BTW, I am working within Vegas Pro 9.

Do you reuse your tapes?

Vegas Pro 9. The others are lite versions with limited abilities.

Yes, Vegas can handle this quite easily by doing what you describe. SF might be needed if you wanted to do something more sophisticated. One big advantage of using Vegas, is that the editing applied to your soundtrack is not destructive. It can always be reversed to get the original sound. Being able to reverse a change is, IMHO, a good thing.
